Answers to the Radii clues, all six letters in length, should be entered from the perimeter inward; answers to the Rings clues should be entered clockwise. The locations of each Ring's four entries, which are clued in no special order, may be found with the help of the crossing Radii answers. The innermost Ring is a Wraparound; that is, its five unclued entries may be seen by reading its 20 letters clockwise twice around the ring. Answers to clues include nine proper nouns; one of the Ring entries is uncommon.

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