Determine the name of the New Testament person for each of the clues below.
Then write the name in the 10 x 10 matrix
using the following rules:
(1) Each word makes one right angle turn somewhere along its length.
But it is your task to determine where each word makes this turn and in which direction.
(2) As a guide, the starting direction of each answer word (i.e., the direction of the word before
the right-angle turn) is indicated by the letter given after the clue number. Words
can go north, south, east, or west to start with.
(3) Of additional help is the fact that each letter in the correctly completed grid appears in exactly
one word.
