Hi ya nannakath. Have you any more letters placed yet?

[Mamyalynne]

Is there a theme?

[Mamyalynne]

Thelonious Monk

Hotel/OK/ious/n/n, not sure where 'm' comes in


???

[Mamyalynne]

Ignore most of that

[chelle7272]

Hotel and ok was about as far as I got, can't parse the rest at all :(

[Mamyalynne]

I'm way off am sure now.

[cashier]

M is a thousand

[Mamyalynne]

Feels like something missing, or as I say a theme to the puzzle.

beginning of xword states two clues lacking definition parts, consist of cryptic indications in the unchecked letters of their answers.
answer = thelonious monk(no definition part). Unchecked letters = hlnos/ok. hotel=hl, approval=ok, accomodating large numbers=l(large)nos.(numbers)
