Wall Street Journal hint grid: March 1, 2014

Having trouble with the variety puzzle in this weekend’s Wall Street Journal?  A lot of solvers have some trepidation when faced with a puzzle where you have to figure out where the answers go.  To help you get over the initial hurdle, I’ve got some hints for you.

First is the enumerations of the words in each “belt” in the order they’re clued.  They’re in white font so click and drag to see the contents of the table.  The vertical table also has starting location (in terms of the crossing horizontal) and direction of the first word in each belt.

Then below the fold is a full hint grid (printable) with the start and end of words marked.  Have at it!
