Location: United States | Puzzle 3-4 answer format: It says both "Use ... X wherever there is a pair of letters in the same cell" and "Write the letters in alphabetical order in the white circles." Is this correct? These two statements seem to conflict with each other. |

Initially, I suggested specifying pairs of letters in alphabetical order. Prasanna corrected the answer format and suggested specifying X in all cases with paired letters. Please specify X. |

Word xyz placed horizontally intersects a vertical word ending in x and a vertical word ending in z and a vertical word starting in y. This breaks the
"parallel words must be spaced 1 cell apart" rule. Right?
I didn't find such a rule in the booklet. |

Hello, you need to use all the words from the selected pairs. You cannot use words without a pair. |

Location: France | The four given '4's' can be colored. These clues only refer to the numbers options, not to the paint options. (Interestingly, it seems there is no good way to indicate clues referring to white painting for this puzzle.)
