[Formerly known as Divided Into Columns.]
Solve the provided clues, transferring the letters from the numbered blanks to the same-numbered squares in the grid at the top. As a solving aid, the clues are listed alphabetically by their answers, and the letters are also alphabetized within each column. Then place the letters into the empty squares in the same column, in the correct order, to form a clue to the final answer. Black squares (and nothing else) indicate the end of a word; a word can wrap from the right end of one line to the left end of the next. (Unlike in some dropquotes, all punctuation is given.)
