Hypercross: Put 'Em Up

#2 took me a while... had trouble figuring out the jar clue, and I hadn't considered the possibility of a partial word as an answer.

tough!
[2] I agree

salt on #2?

[4] The second part might make more sense as: - (Louisiana + Delaware)

As for the first part of the clue... that's no lady!

It is a dog eat dog world for #2.

Got #2 now what is the etymology in #5

Got it with "a little" help from my friends

[7] Google "old english lytel" and you'll find it quickly.

that's funny...I got 2 first...British background...that's a dietary staple...then got stuck the longest time on 7 trying to make the team name fit....over-thinking is not my friend

[8] Really? I googled it and I still can't figure out what it is. I'm just....like....you but....slower....

[10] don't forget THE rest of the clue.

[11] Thanks! That did it...never heard of it though...

Sigh. Partial words? Inconsistency between whether it's the entry being clued or the entry+themeword being clued? How do these things get approved?

stuck on 7 why isn't in blue devils?

[14] I was trying that too, but it didn't fit w/ the crossing answers. Do you have the 3 crossing letters? If so, try a crossword solver; the one I tried came up with 5 possibilities, one of which was the (at that point obvious) answer.

Fun, and I was able to get it without any begging for help from the author...who is my esteemed brother-in-law!!
