Thanks all. Not happy with the clue for 44dn System of code used by the Germans during the Second World War(6) =ENIGMA I thought that was codename we gave it not what the Germans called it.

Well, I don't know which version of the Xword you all have , but mine has 53a as having 4 letters, not 5 !!!
