WADD is a dialect wrod for graphite or "black lead". No idea of the parsing.

Really enjoyed that and finally completed one, end game and all with no ???s at the end (yay!). It took a while to sort out the use of a couple of spare letters but persevered. It would have been v fitting if the compiler was the same one that produced this weeks Listener!

I was struggling with 13d, but a google search showed Malone solved it in 2014 when it was in the Mephisto!
Also appeared in Azed in 2019.
