Hi, Charlotte's Dad (and Charlotte, too, for that matter!)
At the start of the last row, you have "357", whereas the puzzle has "*3*". In other words, you have put a 5 where the 3-clue already is. As you know, the clues can't be moved.
I'm guessing that you copied the puzzle onto another grid, or a spreadsheet, or some such? and in the course of doing so, missed out the 3-clue. That left you "free" to put into that cell any number that seemed to make sense at the time.
You obtained an answer - but not to the puzzle which was set!

Because after completing today's 'fiendish' and checking the web page my solved puzzle is different
( It's only the 4th 'fiendish' I have completed!)
