and thank you to djawhufc for "waifs"
Nearly there now!

Thank you xwordfan.

Also after a very long day thanx 2 DJA from me, too: without your help I fear I'd still be staring at a blank grid now even!

Does one need Chambers 12th edition to crack the T20 conundrum? Chambers 11th is not forthcoming - at least so far.

No Chambers is just telling you that "T" is the"20th" letter of the alphabet..............

Thanks Sudokulover for your kind attempt at help. I had actually noted the fact that T is the 20th letter, but the way forward remains shrouded in gloom for my weak eyes...

Ironman if T=20

a=1

z=26

Daniel, I'm obviously having a thicker day than usual. I got the alphabet and numbers connection and I've got 4dn but still stuck. Are the entries real words?
Oh, and thanks as usual, despite my current fog I look forward to the Speccie.

Everything is a real word BEFORE you enter in to the grid - replace all words with numbers.....................

Thanks Sudokulover, got it now. My only excuse is that I don' think I've ever done a crossword before that isn't a crossWORD.
