Inspired by the viral word game #Wordle, a #XWordle is a combination of a Crossword AND a #Wordle.

Instructions

Each clue points to a Capital city. However none of the clues are in their right locations.

Solve each cryptic clue to find the correct answer and then enter these in the correct locations. There are helpful letter hints provided to assist you in the same.

Finally, solve for the final XWordle using the Wordle colour scheme.

The Ochre squares indicate the letters in the final XWordle which are in wrong places and the Green squares indicate the letters in the final XWordle in the right places.

Please put the answer to the XWordle in the comments below. Names of those who get it correct will be announced in the solutions post.
