Question Author
Thank you
Some spoonerisms escape me.
Can someone explain?

5d. Sad times, rent heaps mounting,bound around?(10)
There is only one answer that fits. Starts with R and ends in D.


14. Base part of leg, this is missing smear of oil (5)
The answer is clear and is part anagram.

25. Duck, initially frozen within, still forming inside (5)
4 letter word for Duck with F inside.

Please "unspoonerise" these.

Thanks.
25

Fetal - still forming
Teal - (nonstick coating/ inside)
Sorry - tefal - coating
5d: type I, def = 'lows ripped' ('sad times, rent')
14a: type I, def = 'low thigh' ('base part of leg')
25d: type I: def = 'still forming inside' as in a young animal in the egg/womb; the solution is a trade name
Thank you Toorak and Spoffy.
My grid is complete.
I found the solutions without cracking the Spoonerisms.

Which one is a type 2?
Last one.30a) i have s?ing. Any help , thanks.The clue is - Section for pa in fence of stakes- it rings flocks(5)
Sling
Flings rocks
Palings with pa replaced by S
Thanks a lot.
@hankir - I'm not sure if I understand the question, but the type I clues are those where the 'definition' part of the clue leads to a spoonerism of the grid entry, eg 'base part of leg' => 'low thigh', with the entry being a spoonerism of this; type II clues are those where the definition part of the clue is a spoonerism of the definition of the entry, eg 'it rings flocks' => 'it flings rocks' for 'sling'.

Competition entries must be type II clues - the top-placed entries for the last spoonerisms competition (ERADIATE) used 'Spread like buns seems', 'Bend seems' and 'Lay out, like Sprite'.
Thanks Spoffy.
Some are easy such as frond between bends as bond between friends.
Others such as the old will becomes Ye choose and then the answer of 3-6.
Let us hope next month's prize puzzle in easier.
