Need help with last two
21 DOWN Tricky to trap energy of steam (6) D_E_E_
24 DOWN Chide revolting little boy on the weekend (4) T_S_ Task?
Thanks in advance

Are you sure of your letters for 21d?

[fiction-factory]

tssk fits the definition I suppose and k is week end, but not sure of rest (s for son/little boy?)

[fiction-factory]

maybe task as in take to task. K is weekend, Maybe the TAS is anagram of S (son/little boy) and AT (on)

[iminoz]

21d ELEVEN, S is a spare letter (s)team
24d MASK, M is spare (c)hide

[iminoz]

... that should be C is spare in 24d

[fiction-factory]

Ah- I wouldn't have wasted your time with my ramblings if I'd known there were extra instructions about spare letters

[crucifernz]

Thanks I clearly had some letters wrong!

[crucifernz]
