CROSSWORD
A first prize of £30 and a bottle of Graham's Late Bottled Vintage 1990 Port for the first correct solution opened on 17 February, with two runners-up prizes of £20 (or, for UK solvers, the latest edition of The Chambers Dictionary — ring the word `Dictionary'). Entries to: Crossword 1296, The Spectator, 56 Doughty Street, London WC1N 2LL.
Each solution is a word of five letters. Unnumbered clues are grouped to relate to the four quarters of the diagram. Within each group the clues are randomly presented. Correct positioning and insertion of the central letter will reveal six 11-letter words (two hyphened), otherwise unclued. Ignore two apostrophes and two accents.
