June Journey by eXternal
Wordplay in each clue gives the answer with a misprinted letter, forming the entry. Each set of correct and incorrect letters in clue order spells out three locations on a journey. In the final grid, solvers must highlight four cells in a vertical line and add some shading in two nearby cells to represent what was received en route to the destination, which must also be highlighted (12 cells in a straight line).
