Spenser's footing nothing in deal (6): T?O?D?
I have TROADE as it fits the 'nothing in deal' wordplay and I can find a literary reference for Edmund Spenser's' the faiere queen ; 'where foot of living creature neuer troade' - is this right or am I barking up the wrong tree completely ?

I thought of 'Guyde Ye my footing and conduct me well'

Agree Tr o ade

Hi Kayakamina, TVM,
Another one where I can't see the wood for the trees that I am sure you can help me with;
Once you had taken up surrounding position , delegate (6): d?p?t? I think its has to be DEPUTY or possibly DEPUTE both fitting the defintion of delegate but I just cant get the wordplay ?

[kayakamina]

Hi

Deputy ...YE'D (once you had) < (up ) surrounding PUT (position)

[farmerswife]

deputy

once you had = ye'd , taken up dey

surrounding put= position
