SOLUTION:

  1. Solve crossword by rows and columns, sets of clues are in order. Each answer is a 3 letter word, so three words per row or column.
  2. Use clues in intro text, title, to see the theme.
  3. Figure out what the other letters are. The letters are placed in the central shaded square to form words both across and down. Most are unique, the one or two which are ambiguous can be resolved by trying to figure out the answer word.
  4. Read left to right, top to bottom (ignoring the first intersection, which is colored differently), to get answer word.
