Can someone help please. 1 [and 28] across. 4 words.. 4,2,6,3 letters.
?N?E ?A ?Q?O?K ?A? Missing letters I think are bterucko. 28 across I think is GO RIGHT TO THE END. Entire anagram is BETTER TOGETHER GOOD QUICK HOSANNA.

^ I got that by taking the letters for Go Right to the End out of the entire anagram - if it's right, it's clever making it clue (square) No. 1!

It does suggest that several of your letters in 1a already are wrong, though..

It has to be entered as

Eno erauqs ot kcab

Thank you both. Very clever - outwitted me.

We've reached nearly the same conclusion as you but but have an S unused (from hosanna) instead of the K (which you've used for 6 down). A squonk is an American mythical creature, according to Wikipedia, but it doesn't help us. Have you confirmed the N in END? (We haven't got 25 down yet).

Sorry - didn't see the answers below until now. Clever people! D
