PUZZLE #568
CHAIN REACTION: BRANCHING OUT 6
First, find the answers to the clues, which are listed in alphabetical order of their answers. The bracketed numbers at the end of each clue are the lengths of each answer. Then, place the answers into the white boxes in the diagram below (leave the pink box alone for now) so that reading right, each pair of boxes that are connected with a line create a two-word phrase or compound word. As an additional help, some of the boxes have numbers in front of them; those signify the length of the words that will be entered in them, ensuring there's only one way all of the words will fit together.
