Sunday Mail Sevendays Crossword

[No-Puffin]

Can anyone say this makes sense? please

Clue is Open and with no sign of guilt (8). The only thing I can come up with is "flagrant" - but I feel this means the opposite of the clue!!!

[dannyk13]

Innocent?

[scorpiojo]

Seems ok. What letters do you have?

[scorpiojo]

Ignore me

[No-Puffin]

I thought it should be "innocent" but I get my letters from 5(d) Alphabetical characters "lettering"; 6(d) Very valuable substance "gold dust" and 8(d) Restrict "tie down" making the letters ?l?g?a?t

[dannyk13]

Flagrant could be right- openly outrageous.

[No-Puffin]

Don't like flagrant but nothing else fits space (if not clue) so will put this. Thanks for help.
