Thanks for the answers ! I already have CATNAP but it leaves me with some very strange words elsewhere in the puzzle ! Does anyone know definitively that this was the answer ? Thanks - D
PS - apologies for posting the email address

[dannyk13]

Dermot, yes Catnap is correct.What clue numbers do you find strange?

[dannyk13]

Sorry, there are no clue numbers so what letter patterns do you find strange.If it helps 7=L, 13=E and 9=O

Thanks - I'll finish it off now ...

Thanks to everybody , particularly dannyk13 ! I had a mental block on forming the word "appal" ! It just didn't look right ... and still doesn't ! Thanks again .
