In order to complete this puzzle, solvers must play the role of "It" in a game of Hide and Seek. After all the clue answers (whose starting points but not
lengths are given) have been entered, the grid will still have some empty
squares. These squares may be filled once you find the hidden players that
cross through them in any of eight directions (forward or backward
horizontally, vertically, or diagonally). The squares filled in this manner
will identify the hiders as a group, and one square, which contains two
letters, will symbolically reward the successful seeker. Clue answers include
seven capitalized words. The instructions above are for this month's puzzle only. See a complete introduction to clue-solving. See the solution to last month's Puzzler. Across 1.
