MINI TOUCHWORD 2
(click here for a PDF version)
In a crossword, words cross each other; in this puzzle, they merely touch. More specifically, all answers read across, and every letter shares an edge with at least one identical letter either immediately above or immediately below. The top and bottom rows are considered adjacent. (If you want more of these puzzles, the author offers the Touchword subscription service Outside the Fox Puzzles.) Arrange the letters in the shaded squares to form the final answer, a Scrabble-legal (unhyphenated, uncapitalized, etc.) 6-letter word.
1 Poker hand just below a full house / Type of cuisine associated with Louisiana
2 Close grouping, as of stars or galaxies / Lack of difficulty
3 Linkin Park vocalist Bennington / Foundation
4 Cheese named after a village in Somerset / Porgy and ____
5 ____ & Crazy Kids (1990-1992 Nickelodeon game show) / Makes moist
6 Quaker who founded the city of Philadelphia: 2 wds.
7 “Thanks a ____!” / Localized aching sensation
8 Wisconsin’s capital / Water container fetched by Jack and Jill
9 Vegetable of the mustard family / “____ showers bring May flowers”
10 Divides / Pence’s successor
11 Plead the ____ (refuse to testify against oneself) / Christmas songs
