This bonus pilot “variety” puzzle is a mini spiral with Inward and Outward clues
— something new this week to exercise your brain.
To solve a spiral puzzle, work on both the Inward and Outward clues provided.
An Inward clue labeled “5-10” means that the answer starts in box 5 and continues in a clockwise direction to box 10.
An Outward clue labeled “11-8” means that the answer starts in box 11 and continues counterclockwise to box 8.
The result of a spiral puzzle is a long sequence of letters, which spell out a list of words when read in either direction.
We appreciate your feedback about word puzzles: crosswords, this spiral; future pilots: acrostic, snake charmer, other types…
