Matakari, thanks - and a great relief! Next month's might be more your thing, I'm the eternal optimist...

I’ve just reread my completed puzzle and realise that I’m not yet finished since I have to deal with finding two key words according to the preamble’s “ Clues are arranged in an order which will indicate two three-letter words hidden in the grid.” I’m at a loss not knowing exactly how to go about this. Any hints would be welcome! Thanks in advance!

Neveracrossword

Matakari, just jot down the initial letter of the answer to each clue - in the order given. The first one will be T, the next H. You will see a very common sentence emerging. There will be several gaps in it (indicating letters that have already been used, listed, so don't panic!). That should provide the information needed for the two words - and it shouldn't take long to then see them in the grid.

Thanks again, NACW, I got the pangram and a quick glance at the grid revealed the two important words.

Thanks, Matakari. I'd have been really worried if it took you more than a minute or two after the step by step instructions!
