Answers can be submitted by anyone who wishes to participate, on or before EOD 10th July 2019.. All those who submit entries have a chance to enter our leader board for 2019.

Annotations for the puzzle will be discussed at 1ACross on Thursday, July 11, 2019.

Happy solving.

SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS A 7 × 7 area at the center of the grid has been cleared completely. Moreover, enums for words beginning or ending in this area have been omitted in the clues. After filling the grid and identifying all the black squares in the central area, you should be able to put two and two together. Putting this discovery next to a preceding word from the neighborhood would give you a famous title. The puzzle also features six interesting features of the title, including some leading characters.

Due to the unique nature of this grid, no interactive version is available for solving. Instead, you would need to use the PDF file to solve and then submit your answers using the link to the google form here. Please note that any other mode of submission is not acceptable.

Here’s the link to the PDF Version
