Describing it accurately is hard, so here's a link to what it looks like: https://imgur.com/gcIZnre

I can't see the image anymore but you can mail it to me (prasanna16391@gmail.com) or send on discord or whatever, I'll forward to Riad.

Puzzle 3-4 answer format: It says both "Use ... X wherever there is a pair of letters in the same cell" and "Write the letters in alphabetical order in the white circles." Is this correct? These two statements seem to conflict with each other.

Initially, I suggested specifying pairs of letters in alphabetical order. Prasanna corrected the answer format and suggested specifying X in all cases with paired letters. Please specify X.

Word xyz placed horizontally intersects a vertical word ending in x and a vertical word ending in z and a vertical word starting in y. This breaks the
"parallel words must be spaced 1 cell apart" rule. Right?

I didn't find such a rule in the booklet.
