Few problems this week:-
9across "Help a Yankee" A?E? (Probable answer is abet, but I can't see why)
15across "Directions to dark room make it hard to read" ?N?R?H? (Probable answer is "anarchy", but I cannot see why)
The wordfinder letters are A L(? B) Y F (?A) L U M L but I cannot guess the programme

A Yankee is a kind of bet.

A Yankee = a bet

15a is ENCRYPT - E(ast) N(orth) + CRYPT (dark room) to make it hard to read.

Thank you for your prompt help, sallyW, Jolan and Topcat.
I can now see that the wordfinder solution is "Call My Bluff"
Regards, Robert

Is the "H" right..if it is encrypt doesn't fit.

The H isn't right.
