Completely stumped on last one:

7 down. "White or blank space to be filled with a letter in a crossword" (5)

I have ?I?H (I'm certain both letters are correct).

You would think that the youngest cruciverbalist would know this - but for the life of me I've failed.

Light
Really ?? I'm trying to find that one too, well now I have it :))
I'd been struggling to make sense of this as well, Seekerz but the OED gives the following as one of the definitions of 'light':
"The answer to a clue in a crossword puzzle".

Examples cited include this from The Listener in 1965:
"Some of the clues are two lines of verse, each by a different author. The names of the two authors have three or more consecutive letters in common and these letters form the light"

. . . and this from Scientific American in 1967:
"The horizontal words..are called the cross-lights or simply the lights"

Even so, I'm not convinced that the Telegraph's clue is wholly accurate!

Thanks all. Much appreciated.
Why not niche
7d.Light
portocksboyp, if you can find a matching definition for 'niche' that fits the clue then it may be a consideration.
Can't find one, fair enough, just thought it was a more accurate description, sot of fits
Light is correct ,submitted and accepted
I see, but the answer given is spot on - didn't mean to be too critical.


Glad to see you posting. :-)
I think, as an old cruciverbalist , it is LIGHT
