Saxon monks hope to get out of order using gentle words 6, 6

smooth spoken

anagram of s(axon) monks hope to

thank you, its a difficult one today.

Indeed it is. What's the cryptic explanation of 6 Down - "Old ass gets up and leaves in stew" (oregano)?

And what's 12 across - "Tipped over rum, covering a part of wall" (-A-O)?

Many thanks

Hello Pook - onager is an ass and the other is dado (odd backwards over a)

1. Awild ass is called an Onager. So O(old)+onager backwards = oregano.

2. Rum = odd. Backwards around "a" = dado.

Thanks annie. Onager is a new one on me...
