The alphabetically first is quite appropriate -- was that the starting point? The other might be black...
Here's a flawed effort, but it amuses me. The two missing entries go together:
CRWTH
CURVY
KELPY
KNOWN
QOPHS
QUIFF

I was going to say I'd got it too, but it looks like I'm first.
Ha ha. (Seems more apt than LOL today.)

Could only come up with one word for your puzzle Geoff - AVAIL - on the right track?
Was trying to come up with a dessert/cake theme, but this is the best I could do: if you over-indulge in the following, the missing word may be the result:
BERRY
BUNDT
JAFFA
JELLY
POUND

@Geoff - ah DA?

Spots? Nice one Sam.
As it happens, I remain in a spot, with no sight of Net reconnection till Tuesday. An assured by Telstra that their best people are on the problem.
