How to play

Shade the solid squares of the grid from the number clues on its edges, which give the runs of solid squares in each row and column. Then fill the remaining runs with the listed words, across and down, so crossing words share a letter. Each half narrows the other, since a clue rules out where a word can go and a placed word shows which squares around it are solid. 3 puzzles a day at 5x5, 8x8 and 12x12, each with its own twist, such as a scrambled word list or hidden edge clues.
