Need help with :
Has an extra word in 8d but not 22d.
8d. Radioactive nuclei restrained in many containers (7)

22d. Dead sweet – could be drunk if nothing’s spare (4)

Thanks.

8 - Extra word is containers. 3 letter musical abbreviation for restrained inside a four letter word meaning many/loads of
22 - Old word for sweet a three letter word for a drunk with an extra O in it

Thanks Novalis

I have the mover and lover and the 3 letters to be moved but cannot work out which entry to 2 new words has to be changed. At the moment all the new words that I have are real words . Any hints , much appreciated. Thanks.

14a needs the "bar" in it when you add an extra letter

[novalis]

I have split 24 across into two components, changed those back to their original state before the mover got busy and put the bar between the two words.

[teenieleek]

I’ve put the bar in 24ac too and after the items have been changed to their original forms you still have all real words. Nice puzzle.

[novalis]

I agree Teenieleek. Ifor's puzzles are always well constructed.
