Well spotted, emmie and mally, and this time it was emmie who was a nose in front.

There are two grid possibilities which have the same letter in the right positions for the Es in verbose. Sorting out the correct one is not immediately obvious.

Well done emmie. I missed this again. Seems to me the word 'over' is overworked in this one but alphapuzzles don't worry about anagram indicators

Verbose .. 23,1,16,22,4,12,1 .. and Q is 20. If you enter ‘E’ as 1 then the bottom right clue has only one solution. (1,9,5,1,16 etc) helping solve the quiz as a keyword.

Verbose. Seb + over
