Mr. Koch wandered into the kitchen after a doughnut, and saw black and white squares all over the floor. “Aha,” thought he, “like a flash, an idea!” This is it.

If this puzzle were Adam, that central double armed cross would be his rib just before it started turning into Eve. We observe nice fat masses of words at sides and corners.

By Minerva

A splendid construction, particularly in its avoidance of the bane of puzzlers—the loose center. Minerva has not hesitated to call upon the deeps of the dictionary for her words; there are some old favorites in the patch, of course, but also some interlopers that will serve to keep your interest for some time.
