Solution to Checkerboard Challenge by Arcadia
E. Solvers must first add cell entries in grids A to D to the letters already shaded in E, mod 26, to create a grid as shown on the left, below, with symmetry along the NE-SW diagonal, in which the words MAKE REAL ENTRIES appear. Rearranging the cells while retaining the symmetry produces a word square. The colours show how.
The words making up the final grid E, with their relevant “extra words”, are:
BACKACHE - “ lumbago?”, APHELIAN - “farpoint”, CHARACID - “piranha”, KEROSENE - “paraffin”, ALASTRIM - “smallpox”, CICERONI - “guides”, HAININGS - “enclosures”, and ENDEMISM - “prevalence”
