Has anyone made any sense of the letters in the end game?

word lengths maybe?

Thanks

The two messages are arbitrarily interspersed.

... starts with 3 letters from the first one, then 1 from the second one, then 2 from the first, then 3 from the second....

Yes i knew that - thanks - does it start Black or Block or Back or Lack and is CLERIC or VANISH in it?

[x_word_fan]

Thanks - we crossed!

[ProfessorMaisie]

BLACK...and another letter is in 'vanish' (check the obvious word in Chambers for the 2 defs).
CLERIC, yes (but a two letter word before this, not a single).

[x_word_fan]

thanks - sorted now - had missed out a D in my transcribing into a list

What an excellent puzzle....just one i can't see ...
4d Harmonise Trump's conceits, expecting to be exhausted with his bad breath rubbishing doctrine. (8) BIGHEADS... how does it parse please?
extra 2 or 3 words must give the bottom right shaded ?

Trump signifies 'Americanism' (I wish setters would stop inflicting their political leanings on us!).
