Thanks for the second hint, AJT - I've not used Word Wizard before, I'll try it out...

Hmm - I went with the arithmetic mean method on the rhs of the puzzle and got 6 "clashers" to resolve - time for some backtracking!

It doesn't work with all of them though, does it? But I might be quite wrong in the way I've resolved it.

Though when I look at it again, it does work like that - but that wasn't the way I did it.

Hi AJT - I presume your manipulation gives different answers?
Does the arithmetic mean method also work for the ones I don't have on the lhs?

Thanks
Ixion

It works for all of them, indeed. I hope i didn't misleed you. It confirms that I've got the right answers - but I did it on the assumption that there was only one that fit the grid. Makes it a very clever crossword, doesn't it? He must have spent a lng time working it out.

Thanks - unfortunately that means I'm still stuck - at least theres plenty of time to complete it!
