61: CCCCXCIX?

Never mind; you said "letter".

CCCCXCIX is not correct either.

63: Last word of a semi-well-known 'cryptic definition' clue for "ice cube"

COLD is correct. ✓

Don't know the clue, but it seemed likely...

Cute

Ha! Nice.

6: ???

contact 6?

probably contact 70

6: CRYPTIC

nope, uncontact 70

6 is not CRYPTIC.

73 El _ pasa

pass 6

6. Chess notation?

...no, 6 is not CHESS NOTATION.

It was COMMON. Figuring out how that one works is left as an exercise to the reader.

6: ...
