I intended that each of the 26 cells around the perimeter of this puzzle would contain a different letter of the alphabet, but you won’t be surprised to learn that things haven’t quite worked out as planned. However, it seems that replacing two of the outside letters will fix my problem. What are the two new words thus produced?

Solvers should submit the two words, 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 March 21st 2020. 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except that mistakes can be corrected by using the box below and clearly requesting that the earlier entry be withdrawn.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. The 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.
