Compact Disc

In this disc each Radial word 1-20 is to be entered with its letters in mixed order. To fix the positions of these letters, Concentric words are to be entered in rings A-E. The Concentric words are clued in order and proceed clockwise starting from sector 1 in each ring. Some extra music is crammed into this compact disc. That is to say, five Concentric answers (one per ring) and five Radial answers contain one extra letter apiece, so five grid spaces will each need to accommodate two consecutive letters. Taken from ring A inward to ring E, these five pairs of letters identify the musical instrument featured on this disc. Answer lengths are not given for the Radial clues. Six clue answers are capitalized, and the answer to 10 is an uncommon term.

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