I intended that the letter E would appear in the completed grid followed once, and only once, by each of the 26 letters of the alphabet (ie one appearance each of EA, EB etc). But, as you have probably come to expect by now, something has gone wrong. It can be fixed by changing one letter to form a new word (thus also offering, perhaps, a suggestion of what I felt when I had finished filling the grid). What is the new word?

Solvers should submit the word, and nothing else, in the answer box below. There is no need to send a completed grid or solution, or to explain your answer. Closing date for entries is midnight on November 16th 2019. The winner will receive their choice of any of the Telegraph Crossword Books. In the event of two or more entries being received from the same solver all of these entries will be disqualified, except that mistakes can be corrected by using the box below and clearly requesting that the earlier entry be withdrawn. The winner will be drawn at random from the correct entries. Editor’s decision is final.
Please note that, due to punitive postal charges, while the competition is open to all, the prize is only available to UK solvers.

A review will be published after the closing date.
