The clues to this semi-cryptic crossword all have three words. But they've been scrambled up in groups of three or four! You know that the first word of the clue to 1A is "item", "blue" or "watches", and its second word is "or", "which" or "with", and it ends with "underlines", "attracts" or "objects". But how they match up - well, that's what you need to figure out! Can you work out how the clues go together, and fill the answers into the grid?
Interface notes: You can rearrange the words of the clues by clicking on green cells. This will swap the word you clicked with the word below it. When you think you've got one clue row within a box solved, you can check the box at the side, which locks that line and turns it blue.
Because it can be hard to find the clue numbers as they're not in numerical order, there's a guide for each clue by the side of each row of the grid, telling you which box that clue is in. You can also click those box numbers; that will scroll your browser to the clue you're after, as well as making it flash briefly.
There are text boxes by the side that you can keep notes in.
