Bazotto - your first 4 rows are correct. You've missed out row 5 (I agree with Dylan) and the first letter in row 6 should be an i.

Hi Bazatto,

My grid's almost identical to yours. But not he last row, I have:

IGHEEL but the I / L difference doesn't affect the perp, who lurks nearby

40 starts with i

Could someone please give a hint for 15.
A comprehensive book (not the first) marks material in stems and roots.

Thank you

Thank you, jazzlover

My pleasure, cloverjo. It's a lovely finish at the end, very cleverly constructed.

A belated thanks Planks. All done now I knew I must have made a mistake somewhere.
