Discuss word games, puzzles, and The Atlantic's Puzzler in our online forum. Emily Cox and Henry Rathvon may drop by from time to time.Recalling the old parlor game, this puzzle's grid has columns for five Categories and rows for five Examples—one per Category and only one per row a-e. The Categories, which are unclued, appear directly under the numbers 1-5; each is eight letters long and skips its own Example's box. The Examples, also unclued, are all six letters long and rotate clockwise within an outlined box, starting in any one of its six squares. Their first letters, when copied to the blanks outside the grid, will spell a message to solvers.
Clue answers should be entered in normal order, Acrosses row by row, left to right, and Downs column by column, top to bottom. Four out of five letters are cross-checked, but often by unclued entries. Five answers are capitalized.
The instructions above are for this month's puzzle only. See a complete introduction to clue-solving.
