Before entry, one answer in each row must have a letter omitted, wherever it occurs, and placed in the cell at the end of its row; likewise, one answer in each column must have a letter omitted, wherever it occurs, and placed in the cell at the top of its column.
The omitted letters form a question. Having discovered the point of the extra word in ten clues (to be removed before solving), solvers must highlight the approximate answer (located in a straight line in the filled grid) to the question.
