Having, with enormous help, solved Prospect’s previous tough crossword, I thought I would give the special a go. Basically there are two tables and there are 52 clues. Two for each letter of the alphabet . The solver, having solved each clue has to work out where to put each word. Tough? You know it!

Anyway I have nearly sorted out all the answers but there’s a couple I cannot crack.
The first is an 8 letter word which must begin with z. The clue is “veterinary surgery. That’s it .
The other clue is “ light coloured mild cigars” . The answer is seven letters and must begin with c. I really would appreciate any help

Thank you!! I tentatively has “ claroes “ but nervous about it . Now the great LiK has backed it I’ m happy

The other word is completely new to me. I guessed it would begin with zo but I couldn’t find a word that worked

Thank you so much. Tomorrow I shall try to fit them into the two grids

The Z answer is 8 letters so should be ZOIATRIA. Is the 11 letter D clue Residential form of transport really diesel train (DI?S?L?R?I?). Tks.

Isn’t it an anagram?

Tks Kettledrum and Dannyk - but Chambers has zoiatria as "veterinary surgery". . . and the BRB is the usual authority for the likes of Didymus/Doc.
