In clue - not necessarily entry- order

Pairs - 14a/15d: 31a/2d: 37a/17d: 42a/6d
Trio - 21a/24a/39d

MANY THANKS

[BlueIce]

Surely 21a/24a/39d is 5 x 2, not 3 x 2, isn't it?

[Neveracrossword]

Blueice, I don't quite get that. The 3 x 2 I have is letters 4 and 5, letters 6 and 7, and letters 11 and 12.

[novalis]

That's what I have Neveracrossword.

Thanks, Novalis. There are, of course, other letters that appear twice in the answer, but they don't come together - I wondered if those were behind BlueIce's reasoning.
