10. notice (hidden answer = hyp[notic e]yes / attention)
Sometimes lost is where you need to be. Just because you don't know your direction doesn't mean you don't have one.

8. King wearing large-scale disguises (5) >>Masks Disguises - (MASKS) King is a wordplay - chess abbreviation of K Indicator word will go around or enclose the letter K. Large-scale -- bulk or a large quantity, which is a MASS So, putting the K inside (wearing) MASS gives us "M-A-S-K-S"
