Would 'twelve' fit in the grid?

Lower case s is usually used for second(s). What is the significance of the "d"?
Is the clue written exactly like that, on two lines?

DMO can you please come back and give us more info

The clue was written as I showed it … all the other clues were normal.

I have subsequently found the answer provided by the RTE Guide in which the puzzle appeared to be “seeped”. My guess is that the the blank space between the s and d was intended as an indication that that letters had “seeped” away and were therefore missing. No idea why it was written on two lines though.
