Four letters, quocunque - a specific engineer. There's a 4 letter fish and a 4 letter "something wooden", but that leaves an S unaccounted for.

I was disappointed that the wood bit wasn’t clued as our favourite actor! 😂

(that referred to 12 btw)

See mine @26. They were rather more than servants.

I suppose "a fish, a few fishes, lots of fish"?

The fish is the plural for sure. As is the wood. Can I just confirm that the meaning is the first three words not the first six words as previously stated. The subject of a great Alan Sillitoe short story (spoiler).

Not as easy for me as others found. Bottom half went in much more easily than the top. And many words I learned for the first time.

FOI 18d. LOI 17, 16.

COD 20d. Not sure why. Thanks Pasquale for a fun solve and for broadening my vocabulary.

Hi Rocky,

Regarding the AS question, the answer is yes. The "something wooden" is singular though - unless I misunderstood what you meant.

... and yes, the definition is the first 3 words.

Yes Bren. Correct. I had one S too many.

No problem, thanks Rocky, and count me as one of those who initially wondered why the "something wooden" began with a plural indicator (trying to be deliberately vague to avoid spoilers).

In retrospect, I'm mystified as to how long that one thing held me up 😂
