Have they messed up the cryptic prize crossword this morning? or at least one clue is very odd ....

I've got these left ....

9a disposed of what was left after liquidation (6,2) m?s?e? up
11a went round - no answer - went off (6) a?t?e?
20d dicey, showing sign of hesitation leaving court (6) c?a?c?
and, the rogue clue ...
26a echoes of swan in flight appear ( 4,5,4)
?l?w ?n?s a?e??

Is it my imagination or are there 14 spaces to fill? 4,5,4 only add up to 13 in my book .....

hope you can help, thanks, chox.

Thanks for "chancy", that's great. Re 9a, I should have added that I think 5d is "in season" (trendy agent's shown up to meet lad face to face (2,6).
so 9a would be m?s?e? up

"mashed up", "messed up" "misted up"

And hope you agree that 26a is a real mess ....
In person
You get agent...rep reversed in there
I think there is something wrong with 26 as you present it as echoes of swan is an anagram of show ones face.

Looks like they put an empty space where they should have put a black space.

still need 11a went round -- no answer -- went off (6) a?t?e?

just looked at the tablet version and it's got 4,5,4. Will go and have a look at the print version. Perhaps they have messed up the tablet version. Thanks everyone, for all the help this morning. Cheers, chox.
