In this puzzle, clues are given for pairs of intersecting entries; each pair's clue number identifies its crossing point in the grid. Either member of the pair may be clued first. In addition to the clued pairs, there are five unclued crossers (pairs of entries with one crossing the other) for solvers to discover. Starting and ending bars, if shown, would form a pattern that would be the same when rotated 180 degrees. Four clue answers are capitalized; one of them is an initialism.

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