Implosive Grid Game #1: "Western rock nuthatch"

The reverse of Explosive Grid. Instead of starting at the center of the main grid, associating radially outwards to the four corners, and starting new Radial games at each corner, you start with four Reverse Radial games, associating to the yellow square at the center of each. The words in the yellow squares (which must be bold, by the way) then serve as the starting words for the respective corners of the main game, and, again, you associate inwards from there to the center. It's like Condensive Grid, except starting with four Reverse Radial games rather than four Ultra games.


All of Game #1's starting words were chosen via Random Article.
