The words go marching round and round

Puzzling Asked by bobble on September 4, 2021

Here’s another variety crossword type: Marching Bands

Rules

  • Words march across each line. Each line has 2 words of variable length. The two words will fill up the whole line.
    • Line 6’s words are 5 letters each – they don’t go through the black box.
  • Words circle in each band. Each band’s words are entered clockwise, one word after another, with clues given in order. The words together will fill up the band.
  • All words are at least 3 letters long, and all are in dictionary.com except for the abbreviation and the phrase
