Has anybody managed to get this to work? Unable to fit words to grid, eg column O, could be deer/omen/logo for first three, but won't fit spacing. Is there a printing error?

Someone seems to have solved it but is not saying how, Mum and I also think there is an error in the grid, its too small
They seem to have changed the rules on "symmetry". It used to be top/bottom symmetric, and also left/right symmetric. But it seems to be just rotational symmetry now, so pairs of words don't have to be the same length this time.

The clue is in that dumb instruction: "The word Bunch must sit in the centre of the line to preserve the symmetry" and then it shows up in cols J-N. Just invalidates the whole thing.
I have solved it. There is s thread started on Saturday at 10.42 in quizzes and puzzles have a look there I have give quite a few of the answers
My tip would be not to put any blanks in initially.
Line 15 is flattery X bunchX
Line 7 is X smock X platinum
X being the blank squares
Column O is deerXomenXlogoXfriend
Column A is sickleXswagXriftXlaic
Hope that may help
