This puzzle has three sets of clues:
Mixed, Light and Dark. Answers to
the Mixed clues should be entered
one after the other in the grid, one
letter per space, starting at the
upper left and spiraling around to
the center. The starting spaces for
these answers are numbered in the
grid. Answers to the Light and Dark
clues should be entered in order,
one after the other, also starting at
the upper left, but using only every
other space, so the Light answers
will fill all of the light yellow spaces
in the grid, beginning in the first
space of the top row, and the Dark
answers will fill all of the darker
blue spaces, beginning in the
second space.
