(click here for a PDF version)

Blacken some cells in the grid and fill the rest with letters to form words. Hereafter, a “word” refers to any string of two or more consecutive letters reading from left to right or top to bottom, bounded on both sides by black cells or the edge of the grid. All words are Scrabble-legal and appear in the NASPA Word List 2023 Edition (NWL2023); except for some 2-letter words (listed at the bottom of the page) and some obscure words which are mentioned explicitly in the clues, all of the words in the solutions should be familiar. Use the clues, logic, and your vocabulary to find the solution.

Arrange the letters in the shaded cells to get the final answer, a single Scrabble-legal word. (If any of the shaded cells are blackened, then the final answer will be less than 8 letters long.)

• No two black cells share an edge. All the white cells are connected through their edges. No word is repeated in the grid.
• Row 3 contains the word IMMANE. Row 5 contains the word GAMBIA. Row 7 contains the word AL. Row 8 contains the word YO.
• Row 9 contains a 3-letter word and a 4-letter word; the two words end with the same letter.
• Column A contains exactly one instance of the letter S.
• Columns A and B contain the same number of black cells.
• Column C contains the words AA, AM, and END.
• Column E contains two instances of the same letter.
• Column G contains exactly one instance of the letter U.
• Column H contains a 7-letter word.
• The word AGA intersects the word AGAR.
• The word ARTAL intersects the word TEGUA.
• Two 9-letter words intersect at F1.
• A 4-letter word ending with D reads vertically.
• The word ID appears somewhere.
