The HxF Mole 2 - Task 20: Blank Slate

[Kardan]

Below is a crossword grid that has had all its black squares removed. The numbers to the left of each row and beneath each column represent the number of black squares that should be in that row or column. The clues are not listed in the usual way either, instead they are listed alphabetically, so you’ll need to work out whether they relate to an across or down answer. Solve the clues, then fit them intro the grid so that each row contains all the letters listed to the right. We’ve already filled in three letters to help you get started.

You must post the completed grid, along with all the black squares, to win 11 days of VIP. Good luck.
