Well done, nacw, with thanks also to geevo & emmie.

To locate 'augment', most of the 7-letter possibilities can be discarded for one reason or another, leaving just two 'possibles'. These have 17 and 9 for E. 9 appears just before a given C at the end of a word, which is almost never anything but an I. Hence I worked on the basis that E = 17.
Oh dear, slept in again. The Stop the Clock on page 2 of the puzzle section has 11 E’s 14 A’s so the 6th down is CREATURE stating with C = 22. Q = 21
Augment .. 13,10,2,16,17,8,23 .. Q is 21 and Z is 12.
Keyword .. (24,13,22,13 etc) down, just the one solution.
Thanks for the ‘heads up’ Satprof:))
