Inquisitor #72

[trastevere]

Tichfield, are you out there? On the last lap. Struggling with misprinted definitions so unable to find writers link. I have NIT, MA _ , _ I _N, RABY, RHINO, TOWER, _RASS, _O_EEN, _REAS_, EM_LA_ES. My five superfluous words from from the clues are inconclusive and not all necessarily correct. It seems somewhat dissatisfying that the grid can be completed without fully grasping the preamble by just applying a bit of conjecture. I'm finding it all very frustrating and need to get started on #73

[Tichfield]

I have these answers for the misprinted definitions, in the same order as they are given:

Emplanes
Mag
Raby
Moreen
Crease
Nom
Rhino
Grass
John
Tower

The six extra words I have are

Place
Hello
Vicar's
Climb
Hill
Weasley

I hope that helps.

Thanks Tichfield. The ink didn't have time to dry on my screen.

'Just look up' After staring at the ceiling for quite some time then wondering if I shouldn't be looking to the skies,clouds or into space and beyond, I chanced to look up to the top of the page. Eureka! Now to get on with my life. Thanks again

Ah! I see it now.

My problem was that I had torn the crossword out of the magazine, so that I did not see the names when I looked up.

I retrieved the magazine, and Eureka!
