Another Angle: Hints
(back to puzzle)
- The left clues are regular clues. The right clues are the wordplay parts of cryptic clues.
- The answer to each clue is a word (or in one case, a two-word term).
- The answers to the clues should be put in the grid.
- There's only one intended way to put the answers to the clues in the grid.
- Each type of clue (regular and wordplay) is given in order of the answer lengths, and the answer lengths within each type are 1 to 12 once each.
- Put an answer to a regular clue to the left of the black space in each row (unless the black space is on the furthest-left cell), and an answer to a wordplay clue to the right (unless the black space is on the furthest-right cell).
- This hint clues an aha moment. Why is the puzzle titled "Another Angle"?
- This hint clues an aha moment. What could you put at another angle? And how could you get one letter from each row of the given grid?
- This hint strongly clues an aha moment. No, you don't put the filled grid at another angle.
- This hint gives away an aha moment. Overlay the unfilled grid at another angle on the puzzle, and look at the letters on the black spaces.
- What angle do you want to rotate the unfilled grid by to get a clue?
- Each of 90 degrees clockwise, 90 degrees counterclockwise, and 180 degrees gives a different clue.
- No word answers all three clues (as far as I know).
- Is there any way to choose the answers to the clues so that they have something in common?
- The flavortext says "the answer to the puzzle is missing".
- The answers to the clues are three of four items in a common set.
- What's the fourth item in that set (the missing one)?
