In this puzzle, answers are clued randomly. To locate these words in the diagram, solvers may be guided by the shown P's and Q's (which account for all the P's and Q's in clue answers). If heavy lines were used in the diagram, the grid would look the same if rotated 180 degrees. A suitably cryptic prize for successful solvers is spelled by the first letters of clue answers 33 to 38. Answers include five capitalized words; those to clues 14, 18, and 35 are less than common.

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