Oops! Meant to write 32 clues without extra letters (16 across and 16 down clues) and 34 clues with extra letters (15 across and 19 down).

Thanks. Was pretty sure I was missing. 33 and 41 down. I think I know which part of the clues contribute the extra (butter and torn) but I can't see the parse at all. Hint please ?

Running late as usual I only finished the grid late last night. I have the shape and four further objects - nos 2,3,4 and 6, but cannot find the fifth, which if I have counted correctly should have 5 letters. Can someone help me?

Hi Escuan

The 6 objects are:

Far left- 5 letters beginning with A in a sort of wiggly diagonal

The others to be highlighted

3 letters beginning with E column 5
6 letters beginning with s- column 6
5 letters beginning with h- row 5
5 letters beginning with s- row 5 in a downwards diagonal
3 letters beginning with a- row 7 in an upwards diagonal

Some of the cells are used more than once.

Thank you, djawhufc. It was the 3rd one I'd missed. Incidentally I make the 3 letters starting E in column 6, not 5, and the 6 letters starting S in column 7 not 6.

Oops sorry Escuan- you're right- slapdash counting on my part.

Glad I could sort of help.

Robbo – you have identified the correct 2 words – 31D alternative name for greek Earth inside unusual synonym for utter. 41D abbrev. For ton followed by rest of clue.

Robbo - you have the correct 2 words - 31D alternative name for Greek Earth goddess inside synonym for utter - 41D abbrev. for ton followed by rest of clue

Jeeps, how did I miss the ton? Thanks, my 5th word has now changed and I am none the wiser as to that the hint means ha ha. Maybe it will dawn on me but not needed for the solution so no need to add any input here.

Got it 8-)

wja and others - if you submit an wobbly arrow my guess is that it will be marked wrong. As has been mentioned earlier it is possible to draw a straight line through ARROW that hits the middle of the eye!
