Making slow progress.

Have seen conflicts and 2 letters in a square but not more (yet)

Help with this one please:

3D. Vulgar Shakespeare embraces old means of deepening channel (10)

The length could be longer than 10 as more than one letter in a square is possible at the outset.

Thanks.

Could it end in b(o)ard?

Vulgar = flash, plus what stevea said.

Thanks stevea and Orson.

The last clue before I work on the endgame.

32. Golf director without lines began to work (6)

Again there can be more than one letter in a cell so actual answer could be more than 6 letters long.

Also does anyone know how to interpret the number 100,008 in the title?

Thanks.

I can't help with your clue, but the number reflects it being a website/ subscriber-only puzzle. I read fuller details somewhere, but didn't pay much attention!

Thanks malone.
Last week it was EV 1258. Now it is 100,008 for Xmas.
So it does signify something.
E

'From Christmas Day eight years ago, all puzzles got the number 100,001 so that paper-only solvers didn't have a break in the sequence. The next year all Christmas Day puzzles were 100,002 and so on. The next Christmas Day EV, in 2022, is likely to be EV 100,014.'

That's a summary from the crossword editor.

Sunray - golf is the Nato alphabet for G (gee). Director is D and "without" here means outside. And lines are...

Thanks malone for that bit of information.

Thanks orson.
I tried that. I have GEL?ED
There can be conflicts so middle letters could be different.
I cannot find a word that means began to work.
