WORDY WEDNESDAY #243
FOXGERYPTICS 11
Insert a single letter in each space of each grid so that each grid's five rows and five columns spells a word from left to right or top to bottom (including the letters outside the grid).

Arrange the letters in the shaded spaces to form the final answer, an eight-letter word.

WORDY WEDNESDAY #244
TOUCHWORD 8
In a crossword, words cross each other; in this puzzle, they merely touch. More specifically, 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. (You can think of it as a diagramless, cylindrical Share-A-Letter puzzle.)

Arrange the letters in the shaded spaces to form the final answer, an 8-letter word.
1 Common sandwich dressing, in brief / Where a traitor might throw you: 3 wds.
2 ____ Billionaires (TV series about the Dowden family) / Paradise / Greek city featured in myths
3 Stump / Kidney-related / Former significant others
4 Vulgarly unfashionable, to a Brit / At a very slow tempo / Zorba’s first name in Zorba the Greek
5 Bellybutton / A noble gas / Uncanny
6 Original / Fur source related to the weasel / One ____ Hill
7 Curly-haired dogs / Medieval musical entertainer
8 Cattle ____ / 2008 Jim Carrey flick: 2 wds. / Buy time
9 Substitute / Religion whose pillars include pilgrimage to Mecca / Rome’s country
10 Tailless cat / Country singer Vince / In a congenial manner
11 Supervise / Andean pack animal / Aid a criminal
12 Veranda / Jazz singer Fitzgerald / ____ hound
13 ____ Come Home (1943 film) / Nonchalant / The 19th Syrian President
14 Not more / The ____ Patient (1996 movie) / ____ to Perdition (2002 movie)
15 One not to shoot, perhaps / Burial garment
