Nope - not you. Same problem for me too. Have emailed them. But it being a weekend I don't expect them to solve the problem any time soon.

Thanks Paul - I've emailed them, but I haven't had a reply about Thursday's problems yet, so don't hold your breath.

I'm drawing it out on an empty 15 x 15 grid at the moment !!

Hello Big Dave44
If you are referring to the GKQuick as published in the Saturday Telegraph today (but un-numbered), then the version in the paper works with a 13x13 grid. Perhaps the clues on-line are a problem, in the paper the first 2 across clues are;
1a Barrel like container, 3a Grow weak.

Thanks Doc, but the grid is a mess, with large areas of solid black !!

The clues are OK, and I'm trying at the moment, with reasonable success, to map it onto a grid. Thanks for the tip - it wasn't quite working on 15x15.

I think they've tried to map a 13x13 on to a 15x15 and the computer has had a go. GIGO as they say !!

This might help with drawing the grid b=blank L= letter from down clue
Row 1,1a, b, 3a
Row 2, alternate squares L, b, starting and ending L
Row 3, 9a,b,10a, b ,L
Row 4, As row 2
Row 5, 11a, b12a, b
Row 6, L, 3b, L, b, L, 3b, L, b, L
Row 7 14a, b, 16a.
Then symmetry for the bottom 6 rows, ie reverse of rows 1 to 6, hope I got that correct.

Thanks for taking the trouble, Doc, but I managed to finish it OK - made it more interesting than usual. Your description may help someone else though.
