The preamble says that many clues contain one word which must have a letter removed, and those remaining rearranged to form a new word before solving. Thanks for any heelp

[boreas]

As ever, blindingly obvious - once you know the answer.
And I had looked up different definitions of the two words, but I was trying to get them to relate to the royal title.
Many many thanks Never. I'm sure I would have been barking up that wrong tree all day. Or maybe just barking.

[Neveracrossword]

You're very welcome - I always appreciate the help I get here, so it's nice to be on the giving side for a change!

[boreas]

Just the garden to sort out now.
Enjoy the BH!

My worry is that there does not seem to me to be a unique path to highlight - several possibilities for A's and E's

[boreas]

The path is symmetrical

[nigel2]

I've understood everything except how to highlight a "confused individual" - I assume the person to be highlighted is (7,11)? but don't understand how one is supposed to trace that in the grid. Presumably it begins at the third letter of 7d?

[Neveracrossword]

The individual is 7,11 but it's not his name you highlight - more a title, means of referring to him.

[Indy-trier]

If you anagram your spare letters from the across clues you get this person's proper name. Clever!
I'm not so clever as, having completed the grid and highlighted the confused individual, I am now really struggling with what I should put under the grid. I'd love to solve this before I start tomorrow's puzzle. Help!!!

[rabet]

Indy-trier, you need the missing word that completes a set when added to the five you already have. The title of the puzzle is a cryptic indication of the word.

What bothers me is that I can't make much sense of the discarded letters from the DOWN clues.

[Indy-trier]

Neither can I, Rabet. I'm wondering if I have some errors re the ones I've chosen as one of the early ones is a rather awkward J! I've made some sensible words from the last down letters but am still struggling.
