Peter and Bunty, I've got REDEAR for 25d and CROSSED for 38 ac. I'm unhappy about quite a few though. Not enjoying it too much because of so much uncertainty.

It is. By my reckoning, you have to choose between L or R. Wordplay gives you L, definition ("turned over") gives you R.

I agree with you, cmk, that 25dn is either redear or redeal. If you go with redeal, it gives the final letter of April Fool. I prefer glossed/grossed for 38ac.

Your right, Peter. Turned over = grossed. Hadn't though of that - was assuming simply 'C' for constant, though 'G' is of course, too

Just noticed the "options" seem to fall in the correct number order..eg
A/o
P/c
R/h...etc

So.... do we keep the letters of APRILFOOL or discard them and use ochkpaatr?

I've kept them....

Has AZED used "a" for "are" in 16D?

If the letters are kept, how does 25dn square with the footnote?

a is apparently a legit abbreviation of are, in the sense of the metric land measure.
