Wall Street Journal hints: June 7, 2014

Below the fold are some hints to this weekend’s Wall Street Journal variety puzzle: Magic Cabinet by Patrick Berry.  Click and drag over the table to see enumerations for the clue answers and which of the answers in each row and column have to be altered before entry in the grid.

My suggestions for working this before you resort to a hint is to check the enumerations of the answers you’ve already figured out, and to go ahead and pencil in those answers.  There’ll be conflicts, but you might be able to find a pattern.  If you get that, you may not need that hint.

Wall Street Journal hints: 6/7/2014

All the hints are in white text: click and drag to see them.  The enumeration columns tell you how many letters are in each of the answers, and the alter columns tell you which of the answers in the row or column needs to be altered before entry in the grid.
