The WSJ has been shuffling things around re link naming.
The solution is usually available a week after the puzzle.
Save the second link above & check back in a week.
The first link goes directly to the puzzle.

In the future I'll post the second one. It does have ads though.

Have done it all except 11ac and the middle letter of 6 dn which I suppose is A. But can make no sense whatever of the shaded words.
Like 2dn and 13 ac

Think I can see what to do with the shaded words but they do not yet make sense.

11 A: your PM!
6 D: homer-home run (e.g., a blast to right field)


Finished except for outer letters of central word- still drawing a blank.

Thank you, aristo, I did finally get to my PM! (who went to the same school my lads did)
I can't yet make sense of them, but all the highlighted words contain one or more other words. There aren't many 3 letter words with that letter in the middle, so is it possible parts of the others can all be attached to one of them?

Got it, but don't quite see the significance of "within" in SWITHIN. Anyway, just write the shaded words in order and follow directions by separating them appropriately.

I see. A and Y, S within...

Well I'm fed up looking at it.

It reads:
There's A and Y, S within, plus H, B last, drop SY, make B A.

Right, got it, thank you very much for the enlightenment.
So "in the order of their clues" is rubbish, since that should mean 6,9,11 etc.
