TOUCHWORD 11
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.

3 Square dance / Give up / Contest between two people
4 Mind / 1/16 of a pound / Figure out logically
5 One who recruits, perhaps / Marinara, for one
6 ____ moss / Bullies / Stabilizing agent in some foods
7 A city in Australia / Reverberate / Mountain lion
8 Normal: 4 wds.
