I need help with these 7 letter clues. - "Found to accept tip, changing name". - "Appeal about empty idea" - "Singular energy in grand act in city". The first two should begin with a, b or c and the last with g.

[Lie-in King]

1 Baptise (name) - 'base' (found, to accept) anag 'tip'

Passing through as I close down, sorry I can't see the others & my eyes won't stay open - if you've any letters placed & show them, that would help :-)

[Lie-in King]

Bump - I still can't see the 2nd one, hopefully one of the morning crowd have their brain in gear :-)

3 Glasgow - 's(ingular) go (energy)' (in) 'g(rand) law (act)'

[Toorak]

2 attract

A(bou)t tract (idea)

I've noticed others post the Oldie in this way Danny - maybe the grid layout doesn't give a clearer indication.

Lynne, it is easier if letter pattern is given.

[Mamyalynne]

Seven letters as stated.

[Lie-in King]

Toorak - I wrote that down straight away but can't reconcile 'tract' with 'idea' - I'd be grateful for a definition/reference :-)

Danny the OP does say it has 7 letters

[Toorak]

The answer has to have 7 letters danny

[dannyk13]

Haven't woken up yet.

[Lie-in King]

Danny - it might be a jigsaw type grid, where the clues need solving before they can be entered, not really allowing for patterns to be shown?

[dannyk13]

OK

[Toorak]

I agree that tract and idea are not clear synonyms but I couldn't think of anything else

I was thinking idea as in thesis which in turn can be a synonym of tract

[Lie-in King]

Cheers Toorak, that's about what I had, it's still the best I can see, if not wholly satisfactory :-)

[Limuru]

I have Grenada for the city.

[Mamyalynne]

Grenada is a Country - how are you parsing that?

[dannyk13]

Typo? Granada

[Mamyalynne]

Cant discern a parse for that either.

[CrikeyMoses]

It's an alphabetical jigsaw puzzle with a theme, a Nina, unclued answers, and three themed clues without definitions. "Appeal about empty idea" is one of the latter. BEGONIA Beg on i--a
