This was a puzzle type invented by (who else) Patrick Berry, and it&#8217;s a fun one. <a href=\"https:\/\/crosstina-aquafina.blogspot.com\/\">Kelsey<\/a> test-solved this one (thanks Kels!) and she agrees! Here&#8217;s how it works:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Answers fit into this puzzle in two ways. Row answers read horizontally from the lettered markers; each Row contains two consecutive answers reading left to right (except Rows A and L, which contain one answer reading across the nine protruding spaces). Blooms are six-letter answers that fill the shaded and unshaded spaces, reading either clockwise or counterclockwise. Bloom clues are divided into three lists: Light, Medium and Dark.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The solving experience for this puzzled is built on <a href=\"https:\/\/multiflora.app\/\">Multiflora<\/a>, which will not only result in a much more aesthetically pleasing experience, but it will also allow you to solve the puzzle in one of five (!!) difficulty settings. We have also provided a PDF if you prefer to solve the old-fashioned way. If you decide you like this puzzle type, we highly recommend <a href=\"http:\/\/www.joonpahk.com\/\">Joon Pahk&#8217;s Outside The Box<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ariespuzzles.com\/p\/subscriptions.html\">Andrew Ries&#8217;s Aries Puzzles<\/a> subscription services.

Simply enter a nine-letter entry in the &#8220;rows&#8221; box, click &#8220;begin&#8221; and let it start making suggestions for you. Hopefully the whole process is self-explanatory, but if not, let me know and I&#8217;ll make changes.
