29. Sewn, worked with machine? I don't know what the sound unit, a homophone of that, is.

28 Poop

[ProfessorMaisie]

7a yes - MSS = manuscripts.
28d yes, POOP - POP = 'shot' (POOP is U.S. slang for information).
29d 'sone' is the sound unit.

[cashier]

Is the clue correct for 7?

[ProfessorMaisie]

Apart from the obvious typos, yes 7a is right and the answer is MASSY (a synonym for massive, which can mean powerful) A = 'one' inside MSS (manuscripts/'writings').

[ProfessorMaisie]

...plus (traged)Y.

Help please ....... 10d. Sailors in service as once watched which way they rowed ? (7) st?rne?

[ProfessorMaisie]

STEED is the archaic variant of 'stead' (for 'service') around RN (sailors). It's a direction is rowed.

[ProfessorMaisie]

...'that is rowed'

[teacher1]

Thank you ProfessorMaisie.

[teacher1]

Can you please help again .... 3 corners now finished, but need help for the top left-hand corner. 1a. They're free with their favours, delivering smackers. s???p??s

Thanks.

[ProfessorMaisie]

Maybe 'in service as,' is needed for 'steed,' with 'watched' (guarded) as the container, but I'm not sure. I wondered if rowing backwards (in the direction the cox would be looking) might make it part of the def?
