As the threads over the recent weeks, months, have worked well, I've skipped the 'May Contain...' bit. I'm sure you'll all manage without that!

I haven't seen the puzzle yet.

PS If anyone wants some 'pious guff'...

It never gets easier, you just learn how to be stronger.

Failure is part of the road to success.

Thanks malone.
I'd start with a question before smart solvers start discussing end game.

The wordplay has one extra letter.
Three clues have one letter misprint. Don't know if this is one.

Norse dialect followed by the Roman heroes —
lots and lots (10)

Thanks.

No misprint in this one, Sunray, Think very big numbers.

Thanks caphrist.
But too broad a hint.
Tell me the first letter.

It's N, Sunray but the highest numbers you'd normally think of help get the back end of the word.

Thanks caphrist.
I think I know the second half of the word.

I have not been able to figure out "Norse dialect".
The first letter should help.

This is flipping (!) tricky. Are Group 3's second and third clues in the correct order?

So presumably 'o', not 'r' (which I have), is the extra letter in the second clue? If so - and the answer is a....s - I cannot understand why.
