Nice solve, Cue!

I started with "nl" as part of a 5letter word: only "inlet" exists.
What was your initial attack?

Since the words across are 3 or 5 letters and NL are used as two consecutive letters, I knew that the NL combo had to be one of the 5 letter words. That means they had to be in columns 2 and 3 or 3 and 4. The only words I came to me were "inlet" and "manly". Then, considering the VI combo, it just seemed to work well with inlet in row 3 and everything else fell into place. Nice little poser, Denis smile

You could have kicked out "manly", since there is no "y"
in the given 16 letters.
