11a. is Eth (old letter)
Eth
Question Author
Thanks both, I was using the last letter in she and the first two in goats to give ego as self confidence.
don't understand any reference in the clue to "Letter"
and must agree that "EGO" would appear to be as
oldmisery suggested. Any further parse dannyk13 ??
Clue is:- Old letter and article back to front (3)
Eth -the(article) with e moved to front.
There is a difference between the online and printed versions.
Ah, do you have the printed version Mac?
I think the ans should be ego, but arch E-Type has to be right.

Clue is : She-goats displaying self confidence.
She-goats displaying self-confidence.
Looks like a setter's error in the printed version as ego would be correct for that clue.
I put eth as ans because it's the only word I know that's e?h.
Eth is correct Mac. (accepted on line)

So ego was right.
Based on the she goats clue as printed, yes. Based on the grid pattern, no.
A bit of a mess
It is the correct answer to the clue in the newspaper bit it s obviously a setter's error as 11 across needs to end in 'h' to fit the down clue.I have notified the Mail who will look into it.
I have only just seen this having spent 15 mins scratching my head thinking I'd gone mad! (Printed version)
Printed version here, I was going round in circles!
Glad it wasn't just me Sips - thought I'd lost my marbles! :-)
No, it's not just you. I have spent ages trying to see why Ego was wrong. AB saved me from tearing out what little hair I have left.
