I have an obvious answer, and two letters for the moon, but the dash eludes me. I would be a little happier with "dashed."

If 26dn is loop, then it works as a self-standing clue. That means that 26ac would need to be paired with another clue, and that's where it all falls apart.

In 4d, think of "dash" as "dash!!"

Thanks, peterm. I had the wrong pole!

26A only really fits with 26D doesn't it?

The other ones fit too well to be wrong I think, you must be right with in the loop/pool (or in the know)

The only words I can find to fit ??O???C?, where the first and fifth letters are the same are

AMORANCE, BLOWBACK, GEORGICS, PROSPECT and ROOF-RACK

If it’s ??C???O?,

ALCMAEON, COCK-CROW, MOCK MOON, and RACE RIOT

Neither of which are a lot of help

I think you may have been right all along. It is LOOP. The 26A precedes one of the other words. No wonder I wasn't happy with it.

26ac goes before 4dn to make "cuts".
