Wall Street Journal hint (November 30, 2013)

Here’s a hint for the Wall Street Journal puzzle this weekend.  As the instructions note, twelve answers have to be altered before entry in the grid.  The unaltered answers should help you figure out what’s been done to them.  As far as I can tell, the altered answers are not necessarily valid words.

Below the fold is a table of which answers are altered and which are unaltered.  Drag your cursor to highlight the answer you aren’t sure of.

At Sunday brunch this weekend, we’ll remember the late John Graham: Araucaria in The Guardian, Cinephile in the Financial Times, and mentor and friend to many other cryptic setters.  Join us, won’t you?
