This is not set up the same way as a typical crossword. I am stuck on 4 clues at the most. The answers can be written clockwise or counterclockwise. They are all 4 letter words. It can start anywhere in the box. The boxes are set up like a directional formal on a map N,E,S,W.
First clue: Busy Period (Letter R is at the N, U is at the E)
2nd clue: Big Loss (T is at the N)
3rd clue: Historic Robe (No letters given)
4th clue: Decree (I to the N, A to the E)
