Spectator 1813: Ztoaatoz

[endanger]

Happily I have completed all the cryptic clues but am left with the unclued lights
Is anyone able to help me with:
6d
7a
22a
23d

Also I have for some of the unclued lights hazarded these guesses:
1a sponge
33d chintz
34a shrike
unfortunately, I've no idea if these are right!
any help would be much appreciated

sponge & chintz are correct; shrike isn't but I can't think what it should be.
From the title - Z to A - A to Z - in all words the lettersa re either in alphabetical or reverse alphabetical order. I think you'll find it will drop easily into place.

These thematic answers have all been given in a posting a few days ago - if you tell us the letters you have it may jog some memories !

Although I've given you all the answers Endanger I'm sure you could have managed it yourself once you'd been told that the letters were in a-z or z-a order, and you'd checked off the letters given to you in the rubric - BIN IT & GET NOZZLE. As far as I remember there were (almost) no real alternatives.

[endanger]

you're right, although logophile seemed happy to oblige so i replied with the missing ones.
thanks again for your help
