That’s the infuriating thing about these ‘extra’ words. There are always words that you think could easily be omitted, but you have to figure out which ones the setter intended!

I considered 'Latin' as a possible extra but it interrupts a 3 word riddle that appears to make perfect sense (to me). I can't see a 5th possibility can you point it out?

I agree, rad - but I thought it was part of the fun this time.
Some of these 'extras' are just superfluous - the clues still make sense with them included (and Latin isn't strictly necessary - but it's a style of dance, I suppose).

I have four for the top right and five for the bottom right. drxx, the Latin clue surely features one of the words at the end (it otherwise serves no purpose), so Latin itself would not be extra

I'm all done but could someone help me with the parsing of the final four letter answer in the top right quadrant?

I did have ACNSA for the first letters of the riddle in the top RH quadrant but now see the S was incorrect.

Yes, I managed to overlook my circled 'C' - 4 words it is.

...I was distracted by my circled 'Latin' that was subsequently scribbled out!
