Lovatts Mega Stinker

[russams]

Reshape back to earlier state R?T?O?O?M

[Captain2]

How sure are you of your given letters, russams; struggling to find a word here.

[Captain2]

Reconform?

[JJ109]

Probably Captain - it is a shame "retroform" doesn't appear to be a word!

[russams]

Retroform is what I think, but coming up with a true answer appears impossible to validate

[carrottop10]

Hi I am stuck on this as well and have the same letters but cannot seem to find and answers that fit

[1ozzy]

Reinstate?
Could mean lots of your crossers are incorrect.

But Lovatts crosswords aren't always accurate.

[Buenchico]

ReverseDictionary gives 'retroform' as a synonym for 'reshape':

The answer down that I have are (capital letter is where I am getting letter from
Free reign (5;7) caRte blanche
Silhouette (7) ouTline
Command (5) Order
Played the fool (7) crowned
Sleepwalk (12) SoMnambulate
This gives you r?t?o?o?m.
I have tried taking ou different letters to see if there is a mistake but still cannot get there with an answer
All the other across answer work out ok

[1ozzy]

Sleepwalk = somnambulate
Not SoMnambulate

[carrottop10]

Hi I know it's early but that looks the same to me?

Also retroform is not in any dictionary that I can see. Lovatts use collins and it is not in there

[bobbinwales]

Can you explain your crowned answer please?? others like ok

[bobbinwales]

Clowned?

[carrottop10]

Hi sorry yes it is clowned which is where the O comes from

[bobbinwales]

Retroform is used quiet a bit so is OK in my eyes

[Spicerack]

You're refreshingly clear, carrottop.
That said, I can't help. Perhaps some obscure word from chemistry or physics. But you'd expect to find them somewhere.
When will the answers be revealed, please?

[carrottop10]

Hi does not close till November but I will certainly look when the answers come out as it is intriguing me now!

[Spicerack]

Dear me. I'll probably have forgotten all about it by then. ;-(
