I quite agree, djawhufc. Some tough clueing, especially given the clashes, but a proper challenge and neat finish

Hi

I’m stuck at the very end. I can see s????g, k??, j??

I can’t see anything else and I can’t see a relevant way of making the shape I expected.

What words etc. am I missing?

Can some generous person put me out of my misery.

Three quarters of the grid filled with very slow progress being made.

Does any entry contain more than one clash?

No entry has more than one clash.

👍👍

Can't help, Novice. You're ahead of me

A nudge towards 5 would be much appreciated.

5 is one that has a clash.

Tea is American slang for something. It’s in Chambers.

novice, j?? Is incomplete. You have to include the 6-letter type of j?? The object you are not seeing is simply at the end of the uppermost of the 6-letter theme words connecting 4 of the last 5 letters

It’s too bad that you have to mar the contrivance by dropping one of its letters below

Despite a big hint I still can't get 5a
