Seven Sages by Patrick Berry, 2/5/2022

A fun puzzle in which the solver must recall, repeatedly, which direction "clockwise" is and which way "counterclockwise" (or "anticlockwise") is! And just when I had regained my equilibrium from "One Thing Leads to Another."

I recall, from high school, scoring poorly in Spatial Relations (wait, how does clockwise work? counterclockwise?), so puzzles like these do NOT play to my strength. But I still very much enjoyed it. Stretching myself!

Enjoyed! So many puzzles require us to figure out which direction to enter answers in the grid. In this variety style is PB going too easy on us by giving the clockwise/counterclockwise hints?

Fun puzzle. Had to draw little arrows on the grid to make sure I remembered which way the word went. Also, had no idea No. 28 was a thing.
