I love these alphabetical crosswords. I didn't start until late and had to read the instruction twice before I realised they are last letters and not first ones! But I thought many of the clues are easier than usual, though there are a couple I can't parse. I have one left, the first I Heard of compiler's drink (3, 3). I have ?N?T?I. I think the definition is drink. Have I got any of the crossers wrong?. Can anyone explain the parsing for the T answer?

There is no special technique for filling in the grid. I always start with the long ones as invariably they only fit one way round.

I've just got the T parsing. Doh!

Your 'N' is wrong.

Thanks Mamya, but I still can't find two words that fit the I clue. I'll also have to think again about the layout as or the B clue. Any hints?

Could it be an A?

Yes

Thanks Zozozo. I've sorted out the B clue now. Just the I to go.

I've found a drink I've never heard of, so that is me finished.
Thanks for all the help.

Despite losing the online version, and having no printer, I had almost resigned, but eventually drew a grid and happily completed the puzzle. It was an unusual challenge and I hope we may see more of these.

Have I gone wrong with A and C? I've got them both as beginning with E, putting them at the bottom right. But then, if A is right I need Z to have 10 letters!
