The answer to the first clue is EYESTRAIN.

Certainly = YES.

YES is in EYESTRAIN. The other letters ETRAIN are an anagram of RETINA.

I'm clocking off now but others may be able to help.

I had a look at the crossword and it seems a stinker as so many of the clues seem to relate to 1 across, so unless you know what 1 across is, one is stuck. I know some of the easier ones are:

20 down is TURNSUP

25 down is TASER

29 across is UNWRAP

but I've run out of time

Last two and they end with the same letter. *A*P** Joint where tenor almost swallows piano (6) Could that be carpel? But why? A*B*T** A conspirator twisted at first, seeking plant. (7)

Arbutus. A and Brutus. I think, I'm probably wrong though.

I think you've cracked it Frau Koeln!!

Carpel must be wrong then!

What letters do you have for that now?

10/29/125:11 PM

Garage JoeMember

Same as before ending in S!

It's CARPUS which is a joint relating to hands.

The tenot is CARUSO. Almost a tenor, so CARUS. Piano = P in CARUS.
