Can anyone help me to finish this crossword 1.a Moon's appearance reported to be disconcerting. (4) I think it must be faze but means I have aproblem with 3d. (6) Nobleman breaking the heart of Karenina.
I have asked for help a quarter of an hour ago but seem to be having problems submitting the question, so hope to have more success this time. Many thanks

1a is Faze

3d is ERNANI

Many thanks for confirmation of faze, I still don't understand ERNANI. Probable being a bit thick?

Hi juill

Anagram of heart of K(arenin)a = Ernani

the Verdi opera, Ernani is set in 1519 and concerns Ernani, an outlawed nobleman who is heading a resistance effort.
