I don’t know how to rotate this one. We’ve seen this in the past year, though, so I hope you get the idea.

The answers to the clues are four-letter words, listed in no particular order. Fill the ribbon with the words overlapping by two letters, like GLOW and OWNS in the example. We’ve supplied the first and last letters of the ribbon. Can you piece the words together?

Formatting that was a bit of a pain.

When I did that in the past, I just went straight across, no need to format, it is the same answer

I tried to determine which 5 consecutive letters were actually in the puzzle, then found words starting with those letters. Had trouble when I got down to 5 letters left & just couldn’t make a word starting with I , until I realized I could start that word with N . :woman_facepalming:

Yeah, I had a few seconds of confusion there, too. But since I already had MAJOR and there’s a don’t-cross rule, it forced that IFTY combination in the corner.
