[JJ109]

25a Yes

Fumed (reeked) = re(about) + eke (husband as in husbandry) + d(isco)

[Neveracrossword]

38 Care(t), printing mark/accent.

[JJ109]

Templets (t extra)

T(ense) Emp (a)l(t)e(r)s

Temples = hubs of activity

[saladdodger]

Thanks all for confirmation of my guesses...

[saladdodger]

Although my grid is full, i can't see what to highlight,

I have some of the extra word clues missing...so far have 12a,28a,40a,41a11,d?,36d

[JJ109]

I am struggling like you on this bit - but I think I have highlighted the block of 7

I have 12a, 17a, 28a, 40a, 11d, 31d and 36d

However I "dont like the letter generated by 31d! It looks wrong!

 

[Neveracrossword]

JJ, I no longer have my notes ( a scribbly bit of paper!), but I don't  think I had anything generated from 31 D. I'll maybe have another look...

[JJ109]

32d possibly

But I am also looking for another"E"

[JJ109]

17d is the other E!

[Neveracrossword]

Thanks, JJ, I was working on a reply  - glad you got it.

[JJ109]

The last letters also make sense now!

[Neveracrossword]

Yes, JJ, it all came together in the end!

[JJ109]

Saladdodger - if you hadn't understood our conversation

41a is not one. The other three that you didn't have are 17a, 17d and 32d

[saladdodger]

Many thanks JJ109..will have another look..

Help with 24a) fellow performer not rating island (4) ?ose

Also , have finished but can't see where the first letter of the extra word in 11d goes. Thanks

[JJ109]

24 Costar - tar = Cos (alternative spelling of Kos/island) - the 4th letter is athematic E

The letter goes in column 8 row 6

[Loki2034]

Thanks jj109.
