I can't work out from the preamble which version needs to be entered. Is it the `real' word? I also feel uneasy about the 10A/21A change of spelling. Can anyone enlighten me please?

Thanks Oldwolfie. I was feeling like a voice in the wind on that one too. The other swaps can be reconstructed. Call me an old fuss-pot, but 21 ac doesn't go back

Soz, It's the misspellings that need to go in

Thanks Sircrispin. You're a star!

SirCrispin,
I don't think there are direct swaps between the misspellings. For instance the misspelling in 1 across belongs in 8 across but the misspelling in 8 across belongs in 24 across and so on...

The online entry issue seems to have been fixed

did almost all of it on the train last night without realising the rubric said the opposite of what was the case. The easiness of the down solutions relieved the puzzle of the acrosses. Quite a fun solve though - thanks to the Don.

Was there no mention of the winner of 230?

I solved the puzzle. I have all of the substitutions, and I recognize what the set is that these things belong to. I also have the extra letters and it is obvious to me what the missing letter is. However, I just don't understand how the set of 8 relates the the named person! I am British born, from a British family but lived most of my life elsewhere so I am missing the cultural knowledge, I guess. I certainly know of the named person, though, and I thought if I googled that person and the themed set of 8 I would get an explanation - but alas nothing!

Boson, try googling the name and two words from close to the end of the preamble, it will be the first hit.
