[Jaimsieboy]

Thanks F/F...just one to get :
22 Across - Arrange to order (7) ?i?p?e?

[Mamyalynne]

Where does the 'e' come from?

[elliemay1]

In 22 what gave you the 'e'?

[mallyh]

22 dispose

[Jaimsieboy]

The "e" comes from 16 Down :
Inferior choice of directions (5)?o???
I put LowEr and that is where the e comes from

[elliemay1]

I answered 'dispose' on the other thread.
dispose of. 1 : to place, distribute, or arrange especially in an orderly way

[Mamyalynne]

Ellie has already offered 'dispose' but doesn't fit pattern, hence enquiries.

That's the problem with multiple threads.

[elliemay1]

worse

[Mamyalynne]

Worse, to give the 's'

[elliemay1]

^ which will give the 's' for 'worse'

[mallyh]

worse?

[Mamyalynne]

West or South east

[elliemay1]

^ sorry, the 's' for 'dispose'!

[Jaimsieboy]

Hi Folks, assuming 22 Across is Dispose then
16 Down - Inferior choice of directions (5)
would be ?o?s?.. which could give 2 possible
answers of Worse or Worst ?
Any ideas...last one ?

[Mamyalynne]

West or South east - Worse
