Bit of a raids teaser basically. Keep an eye on the old school twitter! |

The numbers correspond to letters that need to be assigned. 6 is a common number, so it is most likely a vowel. By guessing it should be O, one can assume the vertical clue 14-6-T is H-O-T, and the horizontal clue 5-O-O-T-9 is B-O-O-T-S. From there the vertical 3-B-B-O-T is ABBOT, so 3 is A. The horizontal clue 1-L-A-4 is CLAY or FLAX, but 4 is the final letter of a vertical clue, and it's much more likely a word will end in Y rather than X, so the word is CLAY. By continuing this process one would arrive at the following solution:  Take a bowl of hot water, leather boots, and soft clay to Abbot Langley. |
