I have also checked all the other clues and am sure they are correct. Think they must have given wrong clue for 9 down.
Tango is a sort of flamenco, and lace comes into flamenco. Can’t offer anything better!
In the phonetic alphabet u uniform follows tango. Feeling unwell is sick.
so, I made 'luck' as the answer to the clue. I am new to this lark so no howling or mocking if I'm seriously off target please!
I'm rather late to the party...but if it weren't for the fact that everyone seems to be discussing a four letter word, I should have thought the answer would be "tailing" ???
tailing = following (def)
T - tango
ailing - feeling unwell
"Tailing" seemed to fit the clue that was given, very well.....apart from being the wrong number of letters!
But I haven't seen any other clues...and don't go on Answerbank…..
So I'll bow out gracefully, here!
