An 'across' clue can therefore go in any of the four possible directions, depending on which numbering is used. For example, there are four '1 across' clues given, and their answers go in the four possible '1 across' spots.
+ +Each answer spot in the grid has two possible directions; for example, the '1 across' in the upper-left corner could also be '73 across' going the other direction. In this case, a '1 across' clue is given, and so the answer ODD is filled in going to the right.
+ +We read the highlighted squares in counter-clockwise order to get the answer, KATHLEEN.
