Woodstock has had such fun at ACPT, but his little wings are tired from carrying a pencil around all day. He's settled into the Marriott lobby for a game of Scrabble with his cruciverbal friends.

Woodstock doesn't talk; he chirps. His special tiles show only chirp-marks, but birds use the same Scrabble letter values we do. Bonus squares do not matter here. Use the crossing words and the scoring guide to figure out what word Woodstock played across the center of the board.

You'll need that answer for 17A of Just One Clue.
