PRINTOUT PUZZLE: [ THEMELESS MONDAY]

PROGRAM: [Adobe Acrobat]

In the very likely chance the phrase “letter bank” (referenced in 10-Across in today’s puzzle) is new to you, allow me to explain. A letter bank is a word or phrase that has no repeated letters. From that bank longer words or phrases are formed by using all the letters in the bank at least once and as many more times as needed (in the case of today’s puzzle 1-Across).

Clear as mud? Now, share the puzzle. New one on Thursday.
