MINI TOUCHWORD 10
(click here for a PDF version)
In a crossword, words cross each other; in this puzzle, they merely touch. More specifically, all answers read across, and 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. (If you want more of these puzzles, the author offers the Touchword subscription service Outside the Fox Puzzles.) Arrange the letters in the shaded squares to form the final answer, a Scrabble-legal (unhyphenated, uncapitalized, etc.) 6-letter word.
1 Led, as a movement
2 Oration / Made less difficult
3 Sorcerer / Daughter of Bill and Hillary Clinton
4 Underground molten rock / Drool
5 Punctuation marks indicating pauses / ____ and kicking
6 Cartoon strips / A trick in skateboarding or snowboarding
7 Copy / Defender in soccer
8 Part of a music production process / Fastener for a door, perhaps
9 Mason-____ Line / Minor bug
10 Manatee relative / Metric unit of volume
11 Australian possum: 2 wds.
