Vowelless and consonantless forms

← Variogram forms
Whirligig →

In a vowelless form, the answers to the clues must have their vowels removed before they will fit in the shape; similarly for consonantless forms. In these forms, Y is always considered a vowel. The vowels are often omitted from the title; e.g., a vowelless pyramid would be labeled “VWLLSS PRMD”.

Because each answer provides less information to the solver than usual, it is best to clue the entries as straightforwardly as possible. The forms editor will sometimes provide extra information, such as enumerations for any phrases, or NI2/NI3 tags.

See the examples in the square description.
