For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.Thanks, all, I’m happy to see a full grid. My problem is that I do not have the fifteen superfluous letters and cannot discover the “two additional words creating 12 new words the final solution to be submitted”. I would appreciate the extra letters so that I could work out this aspect of the puzzle. A really crafty, but fascinating Genius! Thanks again!
P.S. I had 26d, but could not parse it.

7a is an anagram of 7 letters from the 8 in the firsy 3 words. Which letter is left over?
8a A 3 letter word for gain, ending in "in". Which letter was removed as this is the surplus letter
11a The usual 3 letter word for writer - with the first letter removed which is the surplus letter
This will give you 3 out of the 4 letters for the forst word of the instructions. I am sure you can guess the other letter now
Enough - the second word is ERRANT
and you already have the third word
