Greetings all. Here’s a short puzzle for a quiet Tuesday morning if you fancy having a go…

Clues are normal. Solutions should be entered into a blank 6x6 grid however they will fit. There are no blocked or barred cells. All solutions are 6 characters in length but detailed enumerations are omitted. One or more clues hint at their intended orientation.

1. All-purpose American fuel supply
2. Third-rate inferior asparagus rejected by nits
3. Frenchman once used staff to stem his water
4. Theme derived from ‘pieces of eight’
5. Old man, exhausted, took a break
6. One holding on to unrestrained violence
7. Fleet river flowing west crossed by setter
8. Theologiser’s limits shut out realities
9. Clean clue for wolf?
10. Appear to withdraw nutmeg remedy extract
11. Break free to restrain old loathing for asylum
12. Hot frenzied lust, extremely raunchy!

All solved and I have a completed grid, but will have to ensure it is correctly orientated 😄

Congrats jazzgirl.
I haven't solved it yet, but I suspect that 7 will determine the orientation.
