Thank you Neveracrossword ...how many clashes are there?

[Neveracrossword]

Glad I could help. There are lots of clashes!

Thanks ProfessorMaisie ....got them all now .....do we fill the clashes with the 2 letters in their correct order or with their corresponding atomic numbers?

[ProfessorMaisie]

Correct notation (CAPS/lc) + the singleton, professorplum... I think.
