The Listener N0 4758 ( Tunnel Vision 2 ) By Chalicea

[Matakari]

Good day, thanks to NACW and Klazo, for your help with Chalicea’s Listener 4758. I’m stuck on some of the Across clues and would appreciate your guidance. Thanks in advance!

( In each across clue the wordplay leads to the answer with an extra letter that is not entered in the grid; these letters lead to a list of things that solvers must highlight (37 cells in total) to form a symmetrical representation of a thematic event. The Chambers Dictionary (2016) is the primary reference. )


18 Scottish drink recipe yielded cases to be reviewed (4) : ?R?P
21 Bizarre particle, hot like a mock sun (8) : P?T?T?i?
22 Husband following game dancer (5) : A???H
26 World Boxing Association adopts a full length robe (3) : ??A
37 Poor London tom; he has just one tooth (8) : MONODONT
42 Little hotel, with cunning, dims vacant internal parts (7): INNARDS

Put me out of my misery with this one, Klazo! Which of the many words for "club"? Thanks!

[ProfessorMaisie]

The one out of hell (gone when the morning comes).

[Matakari]

Nice parsing, ProfessorM and Klazo for this one.
I see it in Chambers. Thanks!

Sorry Matakari, Was cooking my evening meal.

Prof M. Never seen an clue/answer given in such a melodious way before !
Very novel :-)

[Neveracrossword]

Matakaei, glad you got your errors fixed - and in a pretty novel way!

[Matakari]

Bon appétit, Klazo! Both you and ProfessorM are adept at parsing..."club" -bat... Or the flying one...When I put these together, I did not think I was on the right trail, but then I went to Chambers and you were both right! I still have a few to confirm, but I'll give this a rest and take it up again after tomorrow's Spectator.

Happy for you Matakari. And I'm glad you're using Chambers more often now. Prof M installed it into me to get and use the big Red book.
(A necessity with these types of puzzles) My online Lexicons just don't cover a lot of the obscure words. So i'm glad you've taken onboard what I have been getting at in our private conversations. The book is the Bible of words to us cruciverbalists. Use it !
Must admit, I still take the idle approach (sometimes) as I did with 'Trial' earlier (I should have checked that word out). But I also am training myself to use the book more. Old habits and all that.
Have yourself a nice relaxing evening mate and get that brain refreshed for tomorrow :-)
