Clue answers are all six letters long and should be entered clockwise or counterclockwise around the appropriately numbered hexagons. In the finished grid, solvers will find that the border letters, starting at the top left corner, form a jokey definition of a hex sign. Nine clue answers are capitalized.

The instructions above are for this month's puzzle only. See a complete introduction to clue-solving.
