PUZZLE #558
SUNBURST 7
First, solve each 4-letter word listed in the first set of clues, then
rearrange them and attach an extra letter to its end (which will be up to you
to determine) to form a 5-letter word that matches one of the answers listed
in the second clue set. For example, if an answer is ATOP, scramble those
letters, add another letter to the end, and form the 5-letter word TOPAZ.
Next, place each resulting 5-letter word into the Sunburst at their
corresponding numbers, starting at the outermost tile and reading inwards.
Since all the 5-letter words have the exact same final letter, make sure that
each 5-letter word ends in the center of the grid.
Once the grid has been filled in, the outermost ring of the Sunburst, when
read clockwise from 1 to 18, will spell out the FINAL ANSWER: The name of a 1980s science fiction movie
