It tells me I’ve completed it correctly.

But 4Down is difficult to pronounce.

Sorry, my ‘normal’ crossword brain kicked in and I read 4 at the top. It’d be 5 Down.

Oh - ok I see it now. But in crossword puzzles, 4 down would be the fourth word down - which in this puzzle is employ.

The numbers in this puzzle relate to letters, not answers.

Wow, I have completed that without noticing that glaring error @PointsSouth ! I got a 'completed correctly ' message too! Well spotted!

I think you just aren’t trying hard enough with your pronunciation.
