Is it possible to get a hint on how to extract the nine-word set of instructions from the corrections? I have a completed grid, I have the objects' name, and I have the word lengths for the instructions, but I can't see where to go next!

Look at the letters preprinted in the cells on the original grid. For now ignore the numbers.

I am struggling with the words formed from the corrections to clues. I have four ordinary words and then either a six letter rude German word, or a three letter Greek plural, followed by a three letter Greek singular. After that, I have an ordinary word, followed by a four letter Greek word, then an ordinary word and a single letter. I suspect that I may have a wrong correction somewhere in the letters giving me the rude German fifth word, or the two Greek fifth and sixth words. I am doing my best not to be too specific here, but if somebody out there can see what I am getting at and then put me on the right track, I would be most grateful.

The Greek words are correct

Thanks for the help, smithsax. Now I'm looking at the letters and I'm still none the wiser, unfortunately!

mtyster - you know what the objects are - the first half of your message (ending after the first Greek word) tells you where to find the objects in the grid and the second half hints as to how to extract the instructions from those objects

Mtyster. I suspect you have not identified the specific type of thematic object that you need to find.
Googling the location of the objects given by the tenth set of extra words with the thematic name does not reveal what you are looking for but if you add “the times” to the query you should get it.
I don’t think this is giving too much away as it was mentioned earlier in this forum.
