Fill the grid with digits from 1 to 9 so that no digit repeats in any row or column.
Any horizontal or vertical run of white squares, bounded by the grid border or red squares, contains a set of consecutive digits in any order.
Associate a unique letter with each digit so that you can solve the clues, translate the answers into digits, and fill the grid where indicated. Exactly one digit equals its letter's position in the alphabet (starting with A at 1).
ACROSS
1. Leopard or jaguar
2. Symbol for tellurium
3. Acidity factor
4. Trader
5. Morning
DOWN
1. Early writing material

Brilliant puzzle, wonderful logic throughout and a clean solve, thanks for sharing!
Notes: It says black squares in the rules, when the squares are actually red. Also the answers to the clues that are in spoilers are matched to the wrong clues.
