Iq 1692 Is The Preamble Correct?

ProfessorMaisie | 11:30 Sat 27th Mar 2021 | Crosswords

I have identified 6 cells (their letters are omitted from wordplay) not the ''five cells'' given in the preamble. I can change one of the two unchecked entries - although wordplay suggests an omission - but this would still give 9 affected clues (one more than the preamble's required ''eight other clues''). The puzzle resolves well, but can the preamble be so wrong?

No, I've made a mistake, sorry. The preamble is correct.

Question Author

the 'd' is wrong - 'bar w(ith)' = remove 'w' from a pub supplier.

ProfessorMaisie

Question Author

Yes, the final 'o' is one of the 5.

ProfessorMaisie

Question Author

... I made the mistake of counting the 'o' from 13ac which was very careless of me, because it's clearly clued and is checked by 3d (but once I'd made the mistake I didn't look at it again and concentrated on the unchecked entries instead!).
