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...

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.

You should try the Listener Numerical (think it is out every 3 months ) - now that is a stinker!!

Some help with the basic answer to the following, please:
16 a Tailless rodent, active at hollow( 4 ): ?E??
22a Mild stimulant for Herbie, we're told(5): B????
3d River that's questionable, we hear(3): ?C?
5d Royal daughter's vile anger(5) ?T???

And now, some help,too, with the enigmatic play of numbers...How should one proceed with 12A which I worked out to be CERTAIN (anagram of REACTIN')?

Many thanks in advance!
