Problem with 15D.
I have made a grid entry that follows the preamble requirements.But it doesn't seem to be a real word. I have looked it up in Chambers and even googled it, but no luck.
Anyone solved this?

Boreas, it sounds as if you have the same as me. However, I have another similar word/thing (at 5 D) and I realised the preamble says only 'the grid entry is derived from...by the omission...' I thought this indicated, perhaps, that those grid entries might not be real words. The other two affected answers do result in real words.

Hi Never,

Yes, same at 5D. I'd forgotten that. Can't find that either as a real word.
Bit odd, because as you say in the other two cases it end up with real words.
Lovely puzzle, but this spoils it a little - unless someone else can explain.
It might just be wishful thinking on my part! Then again, the Animal Farm one didn't say we would end up with non-words -and we did.
Hello I've finished everything except 15d which I realise is one of the four. What is the answer please?

Hi Bear,

The answer is 'Rellie', which is Oz and Kiwi for 'Relative'.
But you have to remove the two relevant theme letters befor entering in grid.
