Iq 1695

[hankir]

I have full grid but only 9 clues from which letters are removed.
I have one between 23a and 32a. Are there two?
What is the extra letters in 25a and 30a?
Extra letters give me 4, (7 or 8), 3,5,3,4. Not making sense so cannot solve.

Thanks.

[roslyn251254]

30a think it's B from (B)in ...stored wine...

[roslyn251254]

25a M from I OM order of merit? ...could be wrong though!

[pomona]

6d and 8d ...have answers, but can't parse....

[hankir]

Thanks ros and pomona.

6d. Room returned over yu (jade). U extra.

8d. Coin = bit. Order= Array. Castle= Rook = R.

[pomona]

Thanks hankir. What's the extra in 1d?

[hankir]

ros: 30a is Rabbi. So n from Bin is extra?
The phrase from extra letters do not make sense.
How many words does 16a to 32a make?
I have three clues with extra letters in 16a thru 32a.

[hankir]

pomona: W? Wight?

[pomona]

1D not 1a ..i already had the isle of Wight...

[hankir]

What I meant for 16a to 32a: 3 clues with groups of letters removed.

[ProfessorMaisie]

It's 7 (not 8) for the extras, otherwise you're right - it's a clue - one word is the anag indicator.
You're right - only i group of removed letters between 23a and 30a.
All of the answers given are right.

[hankir]

1d. Something = what, so W.

[roslyn251254]

Sorry ...rushing...yes N from bin is extra....
I have 3 clues with extra letters in 16a - 32a ...but can't see what the 3rd word of the phrase is...

[roslyn251254]

"what forming new clues can give "???

[ProfessorMaisie]

...yes, 16 to 32 - three groups of dropped letters.

[ProfessorMaisie]

...although 16a isn't one of them - starts at 17a.

[ProfessorMaisie]

...'forming' is the anagrind.

[roslyn251254]

yes i can see it now...thank you

[hankir]

Thanks ProfessorM.

I think I am going to give answers here.

I have 17, 20 and 28a from which letters are removed.
The extra letters from 16a to 32a are giving me Forminns.
It may be Forming but I cannot see G from 31a.
32a Chap =Sod so S is extra.

[ProfessorMaisie]

'(g)od'

[ProfessorMaisie]

...don't see where you've got the other 'n'and 's', hankir.
