Could you help with 4A, 6D and 12A? I'm pretty lousy at hints, but maybe this will help? 4A - A handsome fella might cause all the girls to do this. 6D - Next in line for the throne. 12A - Similar to what the Red Queen yelled out of anger at Alice.

I would love some help with 9D, 3D and 5A 9D... This could also be the way a convicted felon chooses his words? 3D... She was married to Prince Albert, but he wasn't in a can. 5A... This is an awful pun. This is a word that means "throughout the course or duration of."

Last leg on these puzzles... Any help would be fantastic 12A, 13A, 20A, 2D (I might have this one, idk yet....) and 9D. Thanks yall! I'm going to admit that I don't fully understand the answers to both 12A and 13A given their clues, even having cracked the Vault! I got both from crosses/context. I could clue just the words, but I think I'll let people who actually solved this "correctly" clue them. 20A: This is a very direct clue, but not a super common word. Think Catholic. 2D: If you think you have the right word, break it down into three separate parts and see if it works with the clue. 9D: Focus on "against" and "sensitive." 14A: An old-fashioned word. What do you use to play poker?

12A. The phrase in question can be restated as not right in the noggin. But not right in the sense of milk 13A. Think Steinbeck

I have 6 crossword questions left. I am going to ask them two at a time in the hopes that if I figure out a few of them I might not need clues on the rest!
5A - Sounds like a circle of morning damp
7D - To exist next to a bottle of juniper spirit

I am going to ask them two at a time in the hopes that if I figure out a few of them I might not need clues on the rest! 5A - Sounds like a circle of morning damp 7D - To exist next to a bottle of juniper spirit Both of these are very groanworthy puns/silly pieces of word play. Really, much of this crossword is made up of puns. 5A If you were to describe a circle of morning damp, what two word description would you use that would also sound like one six-letter word? Another helpful thing is to reverse the order for the answer, so morning damp and then circle. 7D Similar kind of thing to 5A. What's another word for exist and what is juniper spirit? Put them next to each other (in that order) and you get a five-letter word.

9D Similar to the others. Focus on "against" and "sensitive." 2D Again similar, but this one's rough as there's sort of a number disagreement between the clue and the eventual word that breaks a typical crossword golden rule about cluing (you'll see what I mean when you get the right word). The word you're looking for breaks down into three separate parts here; focus on the first word, the second word, and then the rest of the phrase. Finally, if you're still not getting it, one more clue: Immaculate
