In the grid, the area below the columns is a dark crypt into which no clue answer may enter. Buried in the crypt is a revered figure: the patron saint of puzzle-solving. Once in each column of the grid, a letter in an Across or Down answer will not fit and must be interred in the crypt beneath its column. In order, those ten letters will reveal the inspirational patron saint's name. Answer lengths are kept in the dark. Five clue answers are capitalized.

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