Thank you, Don. That is what I intend to complete the xword, but I've searched everywhere to see if it fits the rest of the alphabetical clues, and I can't find it anywhere. This is why I think ( sorry Araucaria) that he's made a mistake, and somehow thinks it's "one of them"

For what it's worth, AJT, I have been through exactly the same thought process and am left with the same nagging question. WANDA is certainly the answer required, but it's not 'of a kind' at all. Even allowing for 'left field' thinking etc. Sorry, but this isn't vintage Araucaria. Not worthy of a bank holiday prize puzzle in my opinion.

Good morning Bathtub - you're an early bird. Thanks for that. If you look under another thread with my initials - AJT - you will find that Don- found that Wanda is a river in Taiwan. Certainly rather "left field" as it was the only river. I was rather disappointed with the xword, given that it was an Easter offering: I metaphorically rubbed my hands with glee when I saw that it was by Araucaria, but found it quite easy and disappointing.

Thank you GCD - It must be Wanda, whatever the reasoning.
