Try studying the banner for the newspaper alluded to in 1d - there's an example in Wikipedia - the penny should then drop.

Even though I was less than gracious about this puzzle earlier, I have plodded on!
The last step still eludes me.
Would any of you be willing to give me a further nudge?

VV

You just have to change the orientation of THE INDEPENDENT to mimic the paper's front-cover banner.....and then darken it !

Hi Trebor1. Column 3 - the a is wrong - that goes in a different column - it is blank in column 3. The first word at 3 is the plural of a word listed in my crossword dictionary as a Turkish governor. It is the anagram of a tool.
