Probably because it's Friday I'm having trouble getting going with the ladder from 1a to 45a. Can someone kindly give me a leg up to get started - Thanks

Not a start as such but I found URITES to be the key transitional word.

Thanks Professor. I'll see what I can do with that.

Hi dannyk13. I was happy to see that you had answered as you've always been very helpful. But then your answer was deleted. Could you please give it another try. Thanks
Farrwest, Sorry, I posted on the wrong thread.It was not relevant to your question.
Farrwest, if you've got 1 A and the help from ProfessorMaisie, it's not too tricky to work out what comes in between. After PM's word, the next one is fairly simple. There will be some crossing letters, in the unclued answers - those are a big help.
Farrwest ... the ladder changes 1a > 18a > 1d ...and finish 10d > 31d > 45a

If you want the others in between ....ask again
My starting changes differ from roslyn's. I have 1ac - 1dn - 18ac (the final three are the ok).
Perhaps mine are wrong Maisie?
united> unites> urites ?
Same as mine roslyn. I think that means the penultimate letter 'R' of 4dn wouldn't permit UNITES for that entry. So it would have to be be URITES at 18ac unless you've got something else for 4dn?
For 4d i have deking ??
I have 'desire' - that explains it. Thanks roslyn.
deking ... a fake
Question Author
Surely 4d is desire? Want = desire.
Question Author
I'm all at sea now with this one! What does deking mean - not in Chambers. Can someone please give me the correct ladder. Thanks
Question Author
Thanks Dannyk13. What do you take as the definition in this clue? I should know what deking is as I live in Canada where Hockey is THE sport!
Sorry, I can't help with that. I do not have the crossword.
I am guessing that perhaps Roslyn is looking at 'Regicide' - to 'de-king' ?


As I say only a guess.
4d Want to act as regicide? (6)
