Thanks for the feedback, but nope it's correct: row 5 column 3 is part of the 6th leftover "AA". (I'm planning to change this part in the next update, it is admittedly rather weird and not grammatical.)
And v1.25 is also fine: the a17 clue is hidden under a blot, and the a7 clue was earlier in the list. (The clues are listed in order!)
