2d Rant having fired one shell
Have T?A?E
Stuck. Any hint pl?

Rant : t(i)rade

trade : sell (s(h)ell

Hi blignop, Please ignore me if I'm on the wrong track but it has been mentioned that a letter is superfluous as set in the preamble ( i guess)

As I am sure I'm talking nonesence, but would T(I)RADE work ??

Trade seems right - many thanks - but it seems to me some of the answers are fuzzy to the clues.

that agrees with me shooty. So the def. is sell instead of shell

just found this on the speccy site to this xword :

In each of eleven clues the definition part contains a superfluous letter. These letters, in clue order, spell a three-word phrase. Clues in italics consist of cryptic indications of partial answers; in each case, the indicated part must do as stated by the phrase to create the full answer to be entered in the grid. Definitions of resulting entries are supplied by the remaining unclued lights. Elsewhere, ignore an accent.


So thats the way I see it Jazzy. Ps, I never refreshed again, So sorry for that. But i'm kind of happy with the answer. (Seems a proper toughy this one, Think I'll give it a skip).

for anyone who may be interested :

Thanks for the link shooty. I didn't know that it was available to download online. I've only ever finished the speccie once before and I thought of framing it.;)

Make sure the frame is Gold leaved, An Xword of this caliber deserves it ; )
