I've finished the crossword (quite straightforward this year), but there are more unchecked letters of the 12 Lookalikes in the completed grid than Cyclops has given (60) in the preamble. Anyone else find this?

The online version is still #536 - so only people who do it in the DTV will be able to comment.

Thanks, hindle-a - I counted and counted them again till I thought I was imagining it! A bit too easy this year - he could have found trickier Lookalikes.

I've got L?W?O?A?E but can't think of anything other than the lame pun Low Votage. Help!

@Brainiac - I have accounted for 63 instead of 60. If all of my answers are correct, then the discrepancies would appear to be :-

C - 3 instead of 2
F - 2 instead of 1
H - 3 instead of 2
I - 7 instead of 6
T - 2 instead of 3

What does your count show ?
