No best answer has yet been selected by Matakari. Once a best answer has been selected, it will be shown here.
For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.This is tricky as some of your letters are wrong. Will provide hints
12A - involves anagram of first two words. The I and E are wrong
15 - both letters are wrong. Odd expression in Chambers for being in difficulty.
29 - already answered
2D - the S and U are correct. Definition is at end of word
3 - the N is wrong. Definition is first two words although unusual. Cryptic is more straightforward
6 - the I is wrong. Violent is an anagram indicator
25 - in confusion is an anagram indicator
30 - unusual word for catching slippery characters (in water).
Good luck!
