No it is the 8th word that must be shaded

And now you must find the other similarly clued "ingredients" of that 8th word.

Fair do's Gerba. Or give the prize to the person who won it last time!

Well I'm all done now. Admit I was looking for ingredients of a pizza for quite a while! But I still can't see the surplus word to which 19D relates to. And that's a pretty unusual word.

19D telates to the extra word on 7D. Look up the dictionary def of 19D.

Sorry Fat Finger on Phone Syndrome

Thanks Buz. Yes I scrutinised each little word of 7D. And penny dropped.

New here, plus fairly new to Spectator puzzles, I am really struggling with this one. I've not even managed to solve enough regular clues to give much help. I think I can guess that spurious words are adjectives but it's not helping.

Reading all the above has just convinced me this one may be above my level (oh, the shame). 41 looks to me to be the proper name of a family of ...famous people. Surely not...

I've not got some clues I feel I should have, either!

Thats my confession.

ChampChump, don’t be too hard on yourself. As was said at the start of the thread this was at the trickier end of Spectator puzzles.

Don’t expect the unclued lights to have anything in common; as the preambles states it’s what they contain that ties them to the eighth light.

I think I know what you are thinking regarding 41, but no it’s not that! It’s a word in Chambers of Aboriginal origin. It has something in common with 19d.

Sorry, I lost this thread and was away, so only just returning to the fight for a final attempt. At least 2767 has been easier.

Thank you.
