You are absolutely right. This is a cracker for newbies’ teeth and presents few solving problems.

I am commenting here only because I think that this an all-time (ie 55 years)solving-time record for me. 7 minutes. Don’t think I will see that again!

As for 5d, I bet many would have entered TROUSSEAUS without any further thoughts about it.

I think 5dn is TROUSSEAUX (the alternative plural of ‘trousseau’) with ‘times’ = X (as in arithmetic).
