Write the 4-letter clue answers in the square tiles in the grid, one letter per triangle, so that adjacent triangles across tiles have the same letter. Each answer reads clockwise, starting in the triangle indicated by the arrow. Answers are alphabetized; you must determine which answer goes in which tile. The letters on the grid’s perimeter will spell the final answer, a song title, going clockwise from the leftmost triangle on the top edge.

MINI TOUCHWORD 13
(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 ____ and butter / With The, novel by J. R. R. Tolkien
2 Long steps / Dull person
3 X on a bowling scorecard / Took an oath
4 Frightened / “What’s the good ____?”
5 Cylindrical thread holder / ____ Scissorhands
6 Large grey-and-white spotted cat of central Asia: 2 wds.
7 Back from square one / Fuel sold by Hank Hill
8 Voraciously consumed: 2 wds. / Canyon relative
9 “I’m a little teapot, short and ____. . .” / Source of rescue
10 Short-tailed weasels / Latticework for climbing vines
