Welcome to The Newsstand board! If you are not aware of what The Newsstand is, you can get caught up by going to the pinned post on this board. I am not an editorial person, nor a person who would know where to start on keeping you all informed. I still read the local newspaper each day to get my news and listen to an AM radio talk show. Instead, I will be posting a couple brain teasers 2x a week. Post the correct answer and win 1k in-game! You can either respond with the answer or download the images and write on them to respond. Happy solving!

P.S. If you are interested in posting editorials to this board, please contact myself or another admin to get the rundown on how!

Brain Teaser Monday, April 3rd
Place seven 6-letter words in this grid reading across, one letter per square. Heavy Outlines indicate all contiguous cells holding identical letters (note that different, non-adjacent regions may share the same letter.) We've given you clues, listed randomly, for the five middle words. Place these words using letter patterns, especially any double letters. Can you deduce the top and bottom words, which are related?
