Island Association Game #5: "Balvand Rai, Sanctuary, Saskatchewan"[edit]

On a beach, water comes in waves so this is designed as if each row is a wave about to hit the shore, which they do when they eventually crash into the island in the middle. A spinoff from Spiral Association, except in each row words may be going left to right or right to left, as instructed by the final column, except for the middle rows where you follow the direction of the arrows. Again, follow the arrows, bold only the starting and ending words, and put your words midway between the arrows in their cells!

Please note: The starting words are always from the top left and bottom right - the beginning "islands", and will eventually crash into the centre "island". Also the final word on the central island cannot be filled until both waves have come ashore.

The previous game can be found here. It began with the islands of Minimal ideal and August 1924 and then followed the waves until they crashed ashore on the island of Canadian Society for Biomechanics.

Game #5's starting words, "Balvand Rai" and "Sanctuary, Saskatchewan", were chosen by Random Article.
