24 down. "Learner taken in slightly -- conserving energy though"
I have ??b?i?
Is it albeit, if so why?

I know albeit can mean although and though appears in the clue, but I just can't see it

It's .... A Bit, slightly, with the L for learner and E for energy.
A L b e it.

L (learner) inside a bit (slightly) with E (energy) A L b E it

yes, albeit = though (def)


l - learner
e- energy
a bit - slightly

Thanks, my mind is definitely not yet tuned to these cryptic clues.

Jimbo, glad I could help.
