As suggested by the strange title, one letter has been altered in every word. The new crossword style definitions and their answers are shown below:
| The sound ducks make (5) | quack |
| Carried by the wind or given oral sex (5) | blown |
| Malady often preceded by chicken, monkey, or small (3) | pox |
| The East Asian camel has two of these big storing mounds (5) | humps |
| Assert; profess; state clearly and in a confident way | aver |
| Three-letter ISO code for the Thai Baht (a kind of Asian money) (3) | thb |
| Be idle; lie around; loaf; relax (4) | laze |
| Shorter of the two sounds in Morse Code (3) | dot |

- blown
- pox
- humps
