Oldie Crossword 255

10 Across...The only 'extra' letter that's possible is 'R', but for the three-word title, it has to be 'A'. Am I mad, or is this a mistake - the Oldie crossword is tricky enough as it is!!

please - what is the clue? Then those of us without the mag can still try to help!

Unfortunately, I think only those with an Oldie mag could get it - each clue is dependent on another part of the puzzle. This particular clue comprises a definition part and a hidden consecutive jumble of the answer's letters including one extra letter (which is the letter needed to solve another part of the puzzle). The clue is 'Coterie acclaiming patron saint of music'. Answer is 'Cecelia', the letters of which are jumbled within the first 2 words, plus the letter 'R'. But, having solved the other part, that letter has to be 'A'. I was just wondering if anybody else had come to the same conclusion!

It's CELILIA - which does leave you with an extra "A"

Ok, thanks for the explanation, as you can tell I'm not familiar with this puzzle - good luck!

Slaney - thanks, but there's only one L, and surely Cecelia is the patron saint of music?

slaney

Sorry - can't spell - I meant CECILIA!

Penwoman

Question Author

Cecelia is what I got, but then surely the extra letter is 'R'...you need two 'Es', which takes you back to the first 'E' in 'Coterie' and includes an odd 'R' in the jumbled letters?

slaney

Penwoman -CECILIA with the fourth letter as AN "I" rather than "E" works -
coterIE ACCL(A)I
