a word puzzle! i never make those! i especially never make any w/out any clues, since clue-writing is my strength, yet here we are. gryptics are a crossword variant invented by les foeldessy; i was introduced to them just a couple months ago—interesting puzzle type! this old blog post by amy reynaldo is a decent enough introduction.
gryptic rules
write a letter in each empty cell such that each row/column spells a word, reading left-to-right/top-to-bottom. every word extends outside of the grid: all letters outside of the grid are given.
