PRW crossword 54

5 letters clue is in that place if other words OK then it is T?O?N
T comes from 11 letters "hindering" O comes from 5 letters "freight"
N comes from 7 letters defining position in series taken to be "ordinal"
Totally stuck
Thanks

Looks like it should be there. Are you sure of your letters(I haven't got the puzzle in front of me)

[cathfromsaron]

there isn't a t in hindering though?

[dannyk13]

Therein?

[Brenden]

There?

[Baldric]

THERE

[ianmunt]

answer i thought for hindering was obstructive,that gave the 't' for freight I got cargo hence the 'o' and for clu efining position in series - ordinal which gave 'n'the 'c' for cargo and 'o' for ordinal came from cl book-keeping which I got accountancy.
thaks for trying al,but still at a loss !.

troon?

Is "in that place" the whole clue or have you just given us part of it?

[ianmunt]

whole clue is 'in that place' other clues forming the letters are book-keeping (accountancy)freight (cargo) ennui (boredom the 'm' in boredom comes from figure - number)hindering (obstructive) defining position in series (ordinal)
beginning to suspect a compilation error but again thanks for trying.
