16a = (7) Dickensian character accessing wallets, evidently twisted*E*I*Y

[scorpiojo]

Estella reversed in clue

[scorpiojo]

What letters do you have?

[dannyk13]

Estella (letters reversed in clue)

[scorpiojo]

..I'm just wondering if that letter count is for a different clue

[devadiva]

Scorpiojo the letters I have are as stated in the question N*E*I*Y which don't fit in with the answers given of Estella. What have I d0ne wrong?

16a Needily

[scorpiojo]

5d inelegant
6d fourth estate
7d dapple grey

[Mamyalynne]

16a Very insecurely (7)

It looks as though my husband has put non cryptic answers onto cryptic grid.
I'll hand it back to him to sort out. Many thanks to all of you for your help
