Rte Guide 2

[Bernie]

9a. ...RTE mag provides essential explanations in detail(10) ????e?????.
8a. Given nothing more than standing water....(4)?o??
2d. Many a true word spoken in ......(6) Clue gives (4) but there are 6 spaces. My initial thought was jest but I have ?????h
Hope the above makes sense.
Many thanks

8a Mere if the 'o' is possibly incorrect

[Mamyalynne]

8 Mere

[elliemay1]

8 mere?

[Mamyalynne]

2d I there are six soaces, does 'Church' fit surrounding crossers?

[Mamyalynne]

* spaces

[klazomaniac]

Church was also my thought Mamya.

[Bernie]

With more fitting I now have ?e???h. Could it be Length?

[Mamyalynne]

That doesn't feel right - it would be 'spoken at length'

[Bernie]

A few more clues that might be of help
1d. A penny, perhaps, for each one's good intentions (4-6) I had good wishes but the changed it to best wishes to fit in Mere.
9a. Could this be guidelines
10a. Looking for sweet talk? Try a left turn- it will probably get you nowhere(8)
These might help

[Toorak]

10 flattery - anagram of Try a left

[aelmpvw]

10a flattery?

[Mamyalynne]

1d Well wishes - penny in the well

[emmie]

9a cats eyes??

[Mamyalynne]

...or Well wisher

[Bernie]

Nearly there. Is it possible 8a could also be Well and 2d glitch??

[Bernie]

1d well wishers
9a guidelines
10 a Flattery
I feel that 2d could be glitch(Many a true word spoken in ...(4) should be jest but the fact they have 6 spaces could that be a glitch

[Mamyalynne]

Given the track record of the RTE, almost anything is possible Bernie.

[Bernie]

Thank you all for your help. I will leave it for a bit.

Bernie, there's an error on grid, 2d is Jest, then darken out the white square under the t in jest

[poorclare]

There is no error in the grid,
