Hello. I've got answers to 2 clues that I don't understand-assuming the answers are correct.

4D Happy son worked on board. I assume the word play is s=son and crewed=worked on board. But I don't understand the definition. How does screwed=happy.

And 26A I clear part of the eye is presumably iris but I don't understand why.

Any help greatly appreciated! :)

I think 26a is IRID. Another word for iris, and to rid is to clear.

4d. Screwed and happy are both synonyms for tipsy, a little drunk
