Pensionerpat: I forgot the obvious hint - your name!

kilgore trout: 20D The Americans use their own spelling for a shortened version of 'mother'.

KT - you want a common 3-letter word for mother used in US (similar to that used in UK) + word meaning love, minus last letter. You end up with an obscure word for lovechild - in Chambers.

stevem - would you mind saying whether the key phrase includes the word "have"?

I'm afraid it doesn't include 'have'.

Thanks. Back to the drawing board...

Good afternoon, everyone! Have enjoyed reading the discussions so far. I am almost ready to begin the challenge of the PL cryptanalysis, but still cannot get M6. Is the 'misprint' in the answer or the definition?

Nikki - in the answer.

I'd appreciate a hint for 8D...been my last one for a while and at a standstill.

As for the square...seemed to be making progress with this theory - US=TE, as ET=?S, ie not SU as you would expect in a rectangle, therefore UTSE must form a line either across or down in the grid.

Has anyone else progressed along these lines?

Thanks
