PUZZLE #470: Lucky Sevens 13

PUZZLE #470
LUCKY SEVENS 13

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 right 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, starting with the Seven marked with a 1) will spell out this week's FINAL ANSWER: A seven-letter word


ROWS
i) Clorox bottle
ii) Area in Microsoft Word with options like "File", "Edit", and "View"
iii) Boring and blah
iv) Coca-Cola soda that comes in "Grapefruit Citrus" and "Peach Citrus" flavors
v) Cootie _____ (paper fortune teller)
vi) New shoots for a failed film scene
vii) Last name of Phil and Lil from Rugrats
viii) Soap ingredient from a spiny plant
ix) Segment of The Amazing Race (or any long race in general)
x) Jordan Peele movie with doppelgängers in red clothes called "the Tethered"
xi) Letter that consists of a single dot in Morse code

SEVENS
1) Make an item's worth worse
2) Repairs ceramic squares
3) Sears' Christmas-themed "Wish Book", for one
4) _____ Juice (Judy Blume book about a kid who wants sun spots on his face)
5) Screaming spirit from Irish folklore
6) Threatens
7) Type of vein that moves blood from the head to the heart

Once you believe you've figured out the FINAL ANSWER, 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 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!
