l am being driven to distraction by these clues, and l think that maybe we may have a gremlin in there somewhere,especially for clue 268d virgos brighest star,-upon looking up it tells me it is SPICA, but l only have 4 letters to get it (S??A).also clues listed below are baffling me
81d cleft (NI?TE)
141d self-seeker (AW?I?AT?)
143 killed as a sacrifice (IMR?L?TED)
223a classic portico (S??A)
231a steel-coating alloy (??F?E)
290d forbiding atmosphere (MI??N?)
250d start (??E?I?TE)
249a jot (WH??) could be whit.
Sorry there are so many,have been working for this grid on and off for a couple of weeks, can you please help and tell me where l am going wrong, thanks ttfn
