A train of words leaves from the square marked 1 and follows a track terminating in the diagram's southeast corner. Another train leaves from square 2 and terminates in the northwest corner. From that corner, marked 3, a third train departs on an inward journey that ends in the square marked 2; but unlike the others, this train happily switches tracks by shifting across a heavy line left, right, up, or down (never diagonally), thereby cross-checking some of the letters in tracks 1 and 2. When all three trains have run their tracks, letters in the circles, reading from top to bottom, will show what a puzzle like this offers. Answers include five capitalized words.
The instructions above are for this month's puzzle only. See a complete introduction to clue-solving.
