Stuck on three. 18a and 21d which are unclued. I have tak?i for 18 and w?r?a?l? For 21, which could be war eagle. Also 35 d . Judge electronic messenger. I have ?apie.

[donny48]

There isn't much to go on but,
21 very few words would fit, try workable ?
35 same thing here but looking at your letters and with a re-arrangement I keep thinking apple.

[iminoz]

18a Takhi is a type of horse, if that's any help

[jadzia49]

Its supposed to be defined by the title which is animal track

[donny48]

There is a Warrigal :an Australian wid horse

[jadzia49]

There is also a War Eagle breed. So i think it must be that!

[Neveracrossword]

35 Cadie .

[jadzia49]

Is 40a) bounce about in saddle ----- pad or pod ?

[Neveracrossword]

40 Pad - to bounce about and also, as a noun, a saddle.

PS If 21 was War Eagle, I think Columba would have mentioned that there was a two-word answer.

[fiction-factory]

looks like 35d ends IE rather than LE though, donny- although it's unusual to have crossing clues that give 4 consecutive letters

[jadzia49]

In which case, i give up!

[Neveracrossword]

FF, I gave the answer (Cadie) to 35 D a few posts earlier.

[fiction-factory]

What does Cadie mean please Neveracrossword?

[fiction-factory]

sorry- found it- I was thinking they all had to related to animal track.

[Neveracrossword]

FF, I knew Cadie was correct as I thought it was Cadi/judge+E/electronic, but I didn't check Chambers.

[fiction-factory]

Yes, it is a messenger.

[fiction-factory]

Why give up, jadzia? is it 21d that's causing the problem? What letters do you have please?

[jadzia49]

Yes, 21, w?r?a?l?. It should be a breed of wild horse!

[donny48]

possibly a different spelling to my previous answer of warrigal which is an australian wild horse

[fiction-factory]

war eagle is the best bet I think- yes it's two words but it fits the 'definition' and letters

[fiction-factory]

warragal is the main spelling here
