1 Polk

[puzzlit]

I thought that but according to the rules it should begin with a letter from A to I

[Jackdaw33]

The answer given certainly fits the clue: a dance of Polish origin with the last letter removed gives the name of a president.

[cashier]

What letters should the other two clues start with?

[BeverleySA]

For 93 I think the answer is a well known natural waterway

[JJ109]

74 Famous male dancer in films
The girl is a girls name rather than a word for girl.

[puzzlit]

Thanks JJ109, the penny dropped this morning before I read your answer. For 93, the answer must begin with a letter between M and Z.

[enigma50]

I am no nearer with 93 either but doesn't the starting letter depend whether it is 13 or 14 letters

[BeverleySA]

The answer has 14 letters

[Macljane]

I don’t think the answers are in alphabetical order. They go in number of letters. Question 1 is Polk (4 letters). 99 is “The Grapes of Wrath” which has 16 letters.

[JJ109]

What you say is correct Macljane - to a degree!
If you look at all the 5 letter answers, these are in alphabetical order, just for the 5 letter answers.
Similarly the 6 letter answers are in alphabettical order, just for the 6 letter answers.

The only answer (from memory) that did not follow this pattern was POLK which was not in alphabetical order of the 4 letter answers.
