Iq 1780

[hankir]

I have just started this puzzle.
The very first two I solved give me a clash.
There is no mention of clashes in preamble.
My answers to 37a and 32d are correct, I believe. The intersection gives me a clash.

Am I missing something?

Thanks.

[ProfessorMaisie]

The parts of answers that clash are thematic words in their own right - change them for a different set of synonyms.

[ProfessorMaisie]

32d is a straight answer, 37a changes 4 letters.

[hankir]

Thanks ProfessorM.
Presumable last 4 of 37a change.
Let me solve more and then I may be back.

[Neveracrossword]

Hankir, it isn't the last four in 37 A that change...

Thanks ProfessorM.

Thanks NAC.
Got a couple of these after posting.
Still about 5 left.
Not sure what the theme is.

[hankir]

I see the diagonal now. Probably the theme will become clear soon.

[Neveracrossword]

THanks, Hankir. 23 D should be a massive help theme-wise...
