Parentheses around a clue mean that a letter must be omitted from the answer before it will fit in the grid. Square brackets around a clue mean that four letters of the answer must be compacted into a single cell. Numbers in parentheses indicate lengths of answers. An asterisk * indicates a capitalized word, a raised a an affix, and a raised p a prefix.
