        Fun, but very challenging, for this solver anyway. I still don’t get 4A??

          Thanks for giving it a go! For 4A, "Wake" = FALLOUT minus (leaving) "flatmate, initially" = F to give ALL OUT (completely empty/exhausted).

        Force company representative to introduce Spanish article (6)
