[yellow11]

can anyone explain the final sentence- thirty three special clues include a definition and a hidden letter mixture of the light-as we can't make much progress till we know which are the odd clues-an example of one with answer would be very helpful-thanks

26 Diabolical serpent (3) Boa, a mixture from the middle of the word di abo lical,

thanks-so all the 33 have an anagram of the definition answer in the rest of the clue?????????????????

Glad I could help. Yes, that's it - I think the hidden letter mixture is just another way of saying it, and also because the mixture sometimes involves two words in the clue, not just an anagram in the middle of a word, like the Boa one.
