Expect plenty of tiny answers, 12 of them only one or two letters. 4 clues are pictures, and 2 of those ask you to fill the gaps in a word printed on the image; 1 clue wants only the initials of the clue words; 2 want just the first letter of a single word; 7 clues are fill-ins, and 7 of them need only the missing letters. The longest answer runs 9 letters and belongs to “Beneficial”.
The edges of this grid check each other. The top-row answers begin with the letters of the answer to the picture clue in the left column, read left to right, and the left-column answers begin with the letters of the answer to “Beneficial”, read top to bottom.
