Can anyone help? I have found one anagrammed clue. Are there any more? Which ones are they? I do not want the answer, just the ones that carry anagrams. As I am new at this type of puzzle, I want to test myself. Thanks for helping me.

lecrack: as far as I can remember, there were very few anagrams involved this time. Look for other forms of word-play!

Thanks, greedy kite! I know Dumpynose is famous for his anagrams! The last time, there were many, this time I've only been able to pick up 1 ACROSS! I'll keep looking for the other word plays!

I am missing middle letter of 7ac and letters 3 and 6 of 12dn. The rest is complete. I get the February thing for initial letters but don't see how the answers are connected or how to decide on unchecked letters. Something obvious has escaped me here.
