I have five to get in bottom right hand corner, interlinked. If I can get two I can probably get the others:

19d Judge in too good a light, so stuffed right inside O???????

OVERRULE? Doesn't really parse.

22d Done by screwing at a distance ??E???

Thanks NAC. I realise where I have gone wrong. 24a I had as Blaspheme but it's Blasphemy so third letter of 22d is Y and not E. Still looking for 19d.

Thanks, Chaseman. I stuck in Overrate, judge in too good a light, but I'm not sure of the parsing.

Question Author

Just got 19d OVERRATE

Judging in too good a light is to Overrate. Stuffed is Overate with R(IGHT) inside.

Question Author

Have now worked out all five, although the parsing of 26a slightly eludes me.

26a Tend to hold against hack C?R?E is CARVE because that can mean hack but not sure about "tend to hold against".

Tend = care.

Against = V.

Question Author

Ah, thanks Radagast

Chaseman, thanks for the Overrate parsing.
