By sixth I meant the rightmost object

Three letters diagonally starting A.

I don't follow the cryptic syntax to 34a. The past participle seems wrong to me and I don't see how the clue indicates the correct container relationship. If 'had on' is meant to be equivalent to 'wore' it's doubly wrong - firstly because the present tense should be used to describe what is the case in the answer, and 'X wears Y' indicates that X is inside Y, not the other way round.

Can anyone explain it?

Thanks Unclued. I had obviously gone wrong somewhere and missed an earlier object because I had that three-letter word but as the fifth object. But I have found where I went wrong so now off to the pub for a very late lunch. Cheers.

Dryden in 34ac Outside is the def, then look at the answer to 15d and you'll get the word.

Found 5 of the objects but missing the leftmost one . However, the ones I have found add up to 17 so maybe an error somewhere. Seems I must include the missing one to get to 25 !

Uncle w - look for a 5 letter word in the shape of something fired into the eye!

Uncle w - Also the other 5 items use 20 squares - (actually add up to 22 but 2 of the squares are used by more than 1 item)...

Sorry Dottie, I don't know why I typed 34a. I meant 48a. I finished the puzzle yesterday, so I'm not in need of answers. I just don't understand the wording of that clue.

If you look up HAVE ON in Chambers, then from the second meaning, you could explain the clue, though it's still not quite right!
