Still working on this. Having trouble with beginning to put answers in grid. The N answers have to cross with one 12 letter answer which I'm sure is Clytemnestra. But I'm also sure that the 7 letter N...
Hi spent far too long on this. Missing 3 I think, also mystified as to why Tora doesnt fit (I have it in row 5 but grid says t?s? ???? So anyway my 3 missing ones are: Fencer's exclamation during...
I am not asking a specific question, but more a general observation. I feel that there are some inconsistencies between the clues and the grid. For example there are 4 nine letter answers in the grid,...
9. Bold page - auspicious. N ? R ? N ? Can't confirm these letters, though, because of the unusual nature of this puzzle. 24. Which may help the steersman shoot (6) ? I ? L ? R. Possibly TILLER, but...
Can anyone explain why the Prize Crossword isn't available on their website, although the printed version is available. PS. I do subscribe to The Guardian.
Last one: 1d. I produce powerful retro Affleck vehicle that is (cutting speed) still quite hard to see (15). I have -I-R-P-O-O-R-P- and several thoughts for parts of the answer, but none giving me the...
Insertions into headless French right-winger's works of scholarship (10). I have (I think) E-E-T-E-E-, and assume that (L)E PEN comes in there something. But I can't think of a word that fits!

"24 across today embodies puzzle's point (4)." I have - E - T. 24 across is BUTT. After much help from the other answers here, I have finally come to the end of this rather distasteful puzzle—yes, I...
Unusual for Everyman solutions not to be clear once one has them, but I'm darned if I can parse FLUSHING MEADOWS, which I assume is the "Park in New York…" as "…driving with difficulty in street."...
23. Lover of playwright shut up like a canary (7). Have S–A–I–N. Also 15d. Wicked trial on murder victim in lift (8). I have DEMONIAC. But surely the last part of the clue should have been the...
155. Horsemen circling meadows — they get a good view of the action (10).. I think I have the answer: RINGSIDERS, but I'm darned if I know how INGS could mean "meadows"!...
I have finished this (I think), but am away from my Chambers and/or unable to parse some of the answers (conjectured letters given in lowercase below). 11d. One thing plucked inside another, joined at...
Stuck on last four-letter words: 24a, 10. Bound to need clue, one of a pair for a start? (4,4). Have - - - M - E - D 24d. European agreement in ancient Hindu follower. (4). Have - - I - , but both...
