Hi malone and mathprofrockstar
You are correct that I had an "o" in place of what should be an "s".
I spelled the intersecting answer "accost" wrongly.
I paid the price for a habit inherited from my father in which when I solve a clue, at first I only enter those letters that intersect with other
clues in pencil and then, when I have solved the whole puzzle, I fill in all letters in ink in all clues. This sometimes leads to silly spelling mistakes
which are not obvious at first. Lesson learnt !!
