Starring-words quiz
Warning: This starring-words quiz is not a star-crossed quiz! (star-crossed means ill-fated) However it is not the fastest way to learn English. Hence it is destined to people who have plenty of spare time on their hands to help them avoiding twiddling their thumbs.
There is a grid of 49 signs displayed in a square to make a quiz.
The sign x is worth 1, 2, 3 or 4 in the quiz.
What’s to be done?
Any sign is to be replaced by a letter (EXCEPT DOTS that fit for alignments)
The number-signs make up an 8-branche star.
The six signs 1 plus x represent a word reading from down left to up right.
The six signs 2 plus x represent a word reading from left to right.
The six signs 3 plus x represent a word reading from up left to down right.
The six signs 4 plus x represent a word reading downwards.
Every horizontal line read from left to right makes up a word.
The vertical lines don’t make up words.

Definitions or hints
word 1: Luna deLune, head of HR at the Delavigne corp., attaches importance to the psychological one of the staffs.
word 2 (= 4th line): Do you think that every Delavigne Corp. staff is so for the job?
word 3 (from up left to down right): He is somehow the opposite of Warbuckle who owns a big farm with huge fields.
word 4 (vertical): Delavigne’s business activity.
first line: Even if you thought every staff at Delavigne doesn’t match the line 3, you couldn’t say they are that.
second line: Horatio uses monkeys for his business but he wouldn’t ever treat them so.
third line: cause to have great charm (as Delavigne scents might do).
fifth line: small cube of toasted bread (it might come in Horatio’s monkeys soup served at lunch.)
sixth line: elephants do, monkeys don’t.
seventh line: used in Horatio’s lab to measure the acidity-alkalinity of the mixtures. Here the words is badly written in one piece; it had better be written with a gap after the first two letters, as it is going in Uv meter, Ir meter, Cs meter, ID meter, etc.
