I’m all done but haven’t got 1d, any tips?
Also parsing for big one 2a?

2 A. A four-letter flower (with the first letter dropped), four-letter word (rather slangy) for 'face' (noun), with four-letter 'space' inside (the face part).

Cheers Malone, I couldn’t see that flower.
Also I thought that word for face was specifically Scots, certainly I know it from my childhood and also from a great Proclaimers song, ‘Jean’.
Any ideas on 1 down?

1d) definition is light shelters. 3 letter word for ‘even .’ The middle letter is extra.Inside is the royal possessive (our). Followed by s (son)

Yes I have ?OUR?S, but still don’t see it.....EOURNS is not a word? Is it?
Thanks for trying to help anyway!

Lumen, think 'tents'...


PS Thanks for the parsing, Jadzia - I had the answer, but just stuck it in!

Excellent construction, but a pretty dodgy preamble.

Apart from the description 'partition' (and this word as title) I thought the preamble was quite clever. Working out that some of the non-crossing words had to be inside the shape added a typical Inquisitor challenge. Just my opinion, these things are always a bit subjective.

I thought it was a very good puzzle.
Thanks Jadzia and Malone for tent guidance.
