Last three.
You will need instructions to help.
Across answers have one letter removed where two same letters appear.
Down clues have one letter must be doubled


7d. Amateur, when beginning, all in a heap (7)
Is the last letter D or S?
AMASSE?

29A. Very old eye in state hospital should be replaced with time (6)
OOMAT? is the last letter I or A? and why? (O is doubled)

32A. Maybe run through Wesker mixing up parts except for lead (6)
KRES? (one letter has to be doubled to get a 6 letter answer for run through, I think)

Thanks for your help.

32a Kreese - alt.sp. of Kris - anagram of (w)esker

Can I just say hankir ..you have more patience than me .I gave up half way through today .I usually enjoy my Sunday Azed but this is just the most ridiculous puzzle and I see no point in it whatsoever . When I saw " may or not may not be real words " in the preamble my heart sunk .
Good luck though :)

Thanks Calibax.

To Shaneystar2:

I was lucky to get a few answers and then I was hooked.

You should give it a second look. You will like it.

I did get some .But after staring at it for ages I threw it :)
I just couldn't see the point of it .A word is a word .
Eg Screw worm ..you lose one letter ( W ) and it gives screworm ..Why ?
I lost interest ..but don't me put you off :)

27d Pour the tea on afternoon rostrum - I have ?E?AA so the A is the extra letter and the rostrum must be ?E?A perhaps??30a Pupil you'll seee chaps instructing, aching to be let off - I have ??NTE
19a You'll find cob resents being infested by this - B?ESE
Any ideas please?

[saladdodger]

30a mente(aching)??

[saladdodger]

27d bema is the rostrum

[hankir]

Omaha is a city. Nebraska is the state.
But ommata sounds correct.
