Ev 1692 Help Filling Grid Please

[quinol]

please could you point out where the following answers occur in the grid:

wrasses, rhodium, attest, utopist

[roslyn251254]

wrasses...end of row 6

rhodium ...col 6 bottom

attest...col 5 bottom ...this is part of the overlappings...

utopist...end of row 9

[quinol]

many thanks roslyn, I think I'll have to throw in the towel on this one

[ProfessorMaisie]

You're in the area where ''entries overlap'', quinol.

[ProfessorMaisie]

Sorry, roslyn251254, I see you've covered the overlap (are you trying to use the 'u' from the down clue rather than starting UTOPISTS afresh, quinol?).

[ProfessorMaisie]

UTOPIST singular!

[quinol]

many thanks for help prof maisie (u in right place, I think) and roslyn.

Can't see where to put lawn and patent and osteon, among various other problems

[roslyn251254]

osteon is wrong ...should be ossein...basis of bonE + o s s ( alt letters from possessed) + in (on wearing)...it goes at the bottom of column 9

the T of patenT and the A of Attest occupy the same cell

 

similar with lawN and Rhodium

so the crosser of these has TA RN at the start in 2 cells....

many thanks rosyn, I shouldn't go on trying your patience, I still can't solve 'impaired' 'simmer' 'boxer''trees' 'further' so I'm miles away from finishing

[ProfessorMaisie]

'impaired' biblical error (3 letters reversed) inside anag 'thread.'

A small 'sWimmer' S+ anag of 'part'.

'boxer' - first letter of 'G(ettin)g' + next word (reversed).

Anag of 'trees' + ends of D(istorte)D.

Remove the st ('...silence') from the end of a word for 'instead of' (or 'anti',maybe?) for 'further' (or 'repeated', maybe?).

[ProfessorMaisie]

...'G(etting)'.

many thanks profm, I'll have 1 last go
