This crossword was amended on 9 June 2025. The word “city” in 26 across has been corrected to “region”.
Six answers are modified, with one part of each replaced by itself. Their clues are presented in ascending order so that none is entered in the numbered space indicated. Wordplay in each remaining clue gives an extra letter; these spell out the nature of the replacement. Lengths in brackets indicate the number of spaces to be filled at that number; hyphenation and indications such as ‘7 words’ are omitted.
