Teenieleek, your E in 11 A is wrong.

I don't really understand your part about there being no R in the extra words. The change in that little Down clue comes about from 'Nine letters in the originally-filled grid must be changed...'.

Thanks, TL. Yes, and that new 12 A is in Chambers.

Yes, I know I’m being picky but the preamble says to do the changes THEN rearrange the three six letter words but none of the three has an R. That’s what I was trying to say, badly obviously. Unless I’ve chosen the wrong words - a definite possibility.

Thanks,Teenieleek. I think the preamble wording is slightly vague, on purpose - it doesn't say that we've 'THEN' to arrange those words. I took the 'originally-filled' grid to include changing anything necessary, ie including the unclued 3-letter entries. It's a long preamble, with a lot to cover!

Yeah, I was being picky. I did the preamble instructions in the order they were written so it didn’t quite work but I was more interested in finding out if I’d gone wrong. Thanks for your help.

Thanks, Teenieleek. I can see your logic, but I know - from past experience - that sometimes I do the various stages in the order that works!

Struggling to spot the letter replacements in the 14 clues. 13 of which I have an answer, but a hint for 15a is very much needed. I have ?o?ala?es

It’s a sort of portmanteau word made of two types of exercise. The m is removed from the anagram.
