Without clues, you are restricting yourself to Guardian readers with yesterday's paper in front of them.

<DIV>Yes, that's very true. I just wondered whether anyone might have been doing yesterday's puzzle and could share a couple of answers. I've managed to find 3 so far, which I'm reasonably happy with, so I haven't thrown in the towel yet!

Just got a few more:

14d: surrealist

21d: guys (as in "Guys hospital" and "guise")

23a: Friday

1d Unparliamentary

Argee

Making progress!

10ac is FAWKES, 12ac is PLOT, together with GUYS there is a theme here!

I think 13 ac is cross court.

You are right with pocket billiards.

Got to go now, good night and good luck!

24a Basketry

Argee

24ac basketry!!

porilo

Question Author

Only one left now, by my reckoning 16 across. How about "wronged" ? WI without the "I" together with an anagram of "ignored". ??

Argee

Yes, I think it is wronged. W from WI and an anagram of ignored without the the i.

Good Luck.
