“Fill-in-the-clue” clues have blanks in the clue that the answer fills in. It’s similar to fill-in-the-blanks, but the answer’s letters can be split up and can also appear partway through other words. Here’s an example:
“Mer_ury or S_tu_n”
If you fill in the clue, you get “car”, which is a possible answer for “Mercury or Saturn”.
You not only gain more letters of the answer from getting a crossing word, you get more letters of the clue!
Enjoy! (it’ll make more sense once you get going)

Thank you so much for all the work you do to post daily puzzles – something I look forward to everyday (although some answers are a bit too hard for my old brain).
It’s really wonderful to hear that, Red! 🙂 I’m happy you like them!
another good one!! (I like 6A since I just did your crossword today and it was in that too)
Thanks Varldin! Well, I’m an uncle now, so I HAD to! xD
