Solve the crossword clues. The left column of down answers are all six letters; the right column of down answers are all seven letters. The middle bigram of the six letter answer is the first & last letters of the seven letter word. The grid is eleven letters tall, so enter the answers as a "sandwich", e.g. TABLED + BROTHEL = TABROTHELED.

As clued by the two 1s in the grid (upper left & lower right), the across answer should be entered left-to-right in the top row and right-to-left in the bottom row.
