6 CACHUCHA

[Neveracrossword]

There, Matakari, that's the whole batch done. Your grid must be looking an awful lot better now, and probably not so daunting! This puzzle was tough in places, but I think you'll get it finished now.

[klazomaniac]

'Tough in places' lol
I'm still struggling to parse 'CACHUCHA'
I'm glad I didn't tackle this one ;-)

[klazomaniac]

Cha is as far as I've got for tea.

[Neveracrossword]

Klazo, Breath freshener = cachou, drop the 'o' (hasn't taken over) = add the tea, cha.

Matakari has had many run-ins with Mr Magoo, one of the tougher setters.

[klazomaniac]

Thank you for putting me out of my misery NAC. Never heard of 'cachou' before. :-)

[Matakari]

Thanks, all, for the help! A few more to mull over now before I can see the light for the Unclueds.

[Canary42]

17 KNEE (last letters of kick in the derriere)

[Neveracrossword]

Thanks, Matakari. You are more than capable of finishing off the 'few more' and the theme. Remind yourself of your years of experience, the many puzzles you've tackled...

[Matakari]

Thanks for your confidence, NACW, but I'm still in misery with the remaining few! If only I could get these, I'd be left with the interesting challenge of discovering the Unclueds!

[Neveracrossword]

Matakari, I'm sure we'd help if you posted another few clues - so long as it's not the whole crossword!

[Matakari]

Ok, NACW, this is the last batch that have me in misery, but I’m aiming at discovering the Unclueds on my own! Thanks in advance!
