Candy Canes | by Patrick Berry Answers fit into this grid in two ways, Canes and Rows. Cane answers are all seven letters long and fill one of the two caneshaped areas surrounding the correspondingly numbered square, starting at the curled end of the cane and proceeding around to the base. Each row of the grid contains two Row answers arranged side by side, but Row clues are presented in random order, so you must use the Cane answers to determine what goes where. When the grid is completely filled, look for something hidden in the numbered squares.
