19ac. Clue: Join in one fractionwith another.
I have *I*T*E*H
But I have two possible answers, each made from two fractions with a three letter word which means "join" between them.
Has the setter put in one of those words, without realising that there is another valid answer?
Comments please!

Yes, it seems like it could be fiftieth or sixtieth. Are there any other crossing squares that would resolve it?

It has to be the F, apparently - because that fits in with some other puzzle/bit of the puzzle (involving a long list of letters that spell out a phrase). I read this elsewhere, I haven't seen the puzzle itself!

Thank you Malone.
There is always an extension to the puzzle where letters in shaded squares are an anagram of the name of a program.
That is the bit I can never do, and so never look at.
You are quite right one of those shaded squares is the third in this word and so decides which of the answers is correct.
Thank you

Thanks, Wally. It's annoying to have one unresolved answer, so it was good to track down that helpful information!
