The crossword on this and the next two pages has two
independent sets of clues: “Hard” and “Easy.” First, fold this page
back on the dashed line so the clues below face the solving grid
on page 69. If you use only the Hard Clues (appearing below and
continuing under the grid), you’ll find the puzzle uncommonly
challenging. If you want help, or prefer a less severe challenge,
open to the Easy Clues (tucked in beneath your fold on page 68).

Insert one of the three-letter words in the box below into
one of the nonsense words (1–18) to make a familiar
word. Use each three-letter word only once.
