[u]Bait and switch: Each clue below can be answered by changing one letter in the given, capitalized word, and then anagramming the letters. Some easy, some may be alterative spellings, hyphenated or Britspeak, and a few that may need the Stitchionary. There may even be the odd two-word answer...

Plenty to go round, so feel free to grab a couple

INTRUDE

-15. Having great knowledge
-16. Guaranteed against loss or harm
-17. Struck with a whip - lose the N, but you desperately need to keep the U (there's a hint!)
-18. Made a deep guttural sound
-19. Part-exchange
-20. To convey in a wagon or cart
-21. Hurt or wounded
-22. Dull or uninteresting, commonplace - when you review a film, play etc what do you give it?
-23. Three-pronged spear
-24. Body of aides and retainers
-25. Machine in which the kinetic energy of a moving fluid is converted into mechanical energy by causing a bladed rotor to rotate.


To waste one second of one's life is a betrayal of one's self.

Sometimes lost is where you need to be. Just because you don't know your direction doesn't mean you don't have one.
