THe clues don't have definitions
I could answer very few
Please help me .
1a
Sort of woman relative,primarily - i.e not son (3,7)
Is it anagram of
Wrienotson?
6a somewhat daunting (4)
Is it the 4 letter word in daunting?
2d
A resident between Mexico and Canada at the far ends? (5)
If this starts with M , my logic for 1a is wrong
Top synonym for go?(6)
Does it start with T? If my logic for 6a is correct.
Thanks for all your support
