PUZZLE #77: Lucky Sevens

PUZZLE #77
LUCKY SEVENS

Stacked together below are seven Sevens made up of 7 squares each. The answers to each Seven start in their respectively numbered squares and continue along its path surrounded by a bold outline, going left and then down. Meanwhile, the answers to the Rows go straight across the grid, including those with only one or two letters in them.

Once you've filled in the grid, the letters in the colored squares (in the order of the Sevens that they appear in) will spell out this week's FINAL ANSWER: A seven-letter word


ROWS
i) Semicircle section
ii) Roman marketplaces or Internet message boards
iii) Like the Taj Mahal
iv) Used video game transaction
v) Heckle and Jeckle, e.g.
vi) Giving a 1 out of 10 to, say
vii) Football team that was in Los Angeles for most of the '80s
viii) Sheet music marking
ix) Sis' sib (HINT: The answer is not "Another sis")
x) Planet that's the headquarters of the Green Lantern Corps
xi) Oliver Stone film about a president who was still in office when it came out

SEVENS
1) My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic character with a multicolored mane
2) iHeartRadio Competitor
3) X-Men villain who used to be friends with Professor X
4) Inhale and exhale
5) Royal realms
6) Front limb of a four-footed animal
7) Places to play Pole Position

Once you think you know what the FINAL ANSWER is, send it to either redhead64@chartermi.net or itsredhead64@gmail.com (though I'm more likely to check the second one) and I'll put your name on a solvers list once I post the answers in about two weeks. You can also use those email addresses to give me some comments and feedback (or get a hint from me in exchange for a "hint star", more details for that are on the sidebar to the right) or send me the answer to last week's puzzle, if you haven't already figured it out. If you have a printer and want to solve this puzzle on paper, just head below the break for a version you can print out!
