PUZZLE #369
ZIGZAGNUT 7
This puzzle contains a word suggested by Patron M. Sean Molley. Support me on Patreon at $15 or more per month to suggest one word or phrase for me to put into a puzzle every month!
The numbered clues are for the zigzags, which work their way down through
the diagram in the outlined areas. The "Rows" clues are for the answers, two
per row, to be entered straight across each row in the diagram, but to make
things harder, you don't know which specific rows the answers will go into!
(Though the answers in the rows themselves are in the correct order)
This week's FINAL ANSWER consists of the two numbered answers with no
clues (#5 & #16) that combine to make up a two-word phrase

You can also use those email addresses to give me some comments and feedback (or even ask for a hint, though you'll be marked as having used one if you do so) 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 link to a .PDF version which you can print out!
