11 ortanique - anagram of equator in
1d looks like staid but can't parse
Question Author
Thanks! That was very quick! (I couldn't parse staid either - originally thought 'swoon' but interlocking clues don't work!). Now reads as 'so??d' - solid? sound?
It's SOWND for 1d
There are 2 spellings in Chambers, the one that comes first is -
SOUND [5]('swoon' obsolete sp.) but 'sound' also means 'fit'.

Thank you - even with 4 out of the 5 letters I couldn't get 1d.
I struggled with a few of Azed's clues this week. They seemed (to me, at least) to be a little bit odd - and 1d was one of them.
As 'sownd' is an anagram of 'downs', I thought it may refer to 1d. being the first of the down clues, but PM's explanation looks better.
