TOUCHWORD 9
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 Tool that shares its name with a cocktail of orange juice and vodka / “____ the Light” (hymn)
2 Sharp / “Just Around the ____” (song from Pocahontas)
3 Former First Lady of California Maria / “____ and out” / "Better Sound Through Research" brand
4 Endeavor / An ingredient in beer / Selected
5 A knight’s horse / The Titanic, for one / Group of fish
6 Commits a moving violation, perhaps / Part of a sword / Elon Musk’s father
7 Insect that sucks juice from plants / Circus performer’s pole / Mistake
8 Most pallid / Like some motives
