Missing Letters By Conto ( In Crossword Centre...)

[Matakari]

Good morning, another shot at Missing Letters!

For each clue, one apposite letter is absent from the wordplay. Clues are listed alphabetically by answer. Answers should be fitted into the numbered grid. Chambers Dictionary is recommended but does not give one commonly used entry.

Answers for the following would be appreciated, thanks!

Situation in court – ten playing against ten (7) : RUCTION
Come to be cuddling a special seal (6) : GASKET
Bill and Dorothy’s dog eaten by eagle – filleted or whole? (4-2-3) : ROAD TO RIO
Fish used to provide these, cryptically – roe upon sea’s surface (9) : CROSSWORD
Heated with heat (6) : HEATED

And the following letters for which I would appreciate the appropriate clue:
?I?D?O???

Can you have two answers starting with R?

[Neveracrossword]

Matakari, Situation in court... can't be Ruction as it's the fourth clue and the answers are (sigh) in alphabetical order. The same goes for Bill and.. As 'Fish used..' comes after Fiancee (already given some time ago) it can't be Crossword. PS For that one, Fish is a surname.

[Neveracrossword]

... and Heated with Heat can't be Heated as it's the second last clue (and it'd be a rather daft answer anyway!)

Cashier, yes - there can be more than one answer beginning with a particular letter.

[cashier]

Bill etc head to toe?

[Neveracrossword]

Cashier, yes.

I did ask yesterday that you could at least put the initial letter of the answer, as NAC said they are alphabetically listed.

[Matakari]

Thanks, all, and sorry about not always having the first letter! And HEATED was inadvertently put instead of WARMED.

[Neveracrossword]

Matakari, what was your stumbling block, what made you keep ignoring the 'answers are in alphabetical order'? I felt like a nagging wife at times ... and it still didn't work!

[bobbinwales]

Forecasts or is that to obvious?

[Neveracrossword]

No, Bobbinwales, that's correct.

[bobbinwales]

Cant parse forecasts though... although if rot not roe its an anagram?

[bobbinwales]

OK....Just spotted the instruction that theres a letter missing in the wordplay

[Neveracrossword]

Bobbinwales, the instructions say that 'one letter is absent from wordplay'. I can't remember the details for that clue, it was days ago that I did the puzzle.
