It seems to me that the fact that there are 8 letters to every word and 8 numbers for every clue is an important thing to know.

Some alignment may help . . .

Code:

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 
1 I O S W W A T H 
2 C A M O L V D L 
3 G I N G X N S Y
4 P A U O S E U E 
5 R W I E V D B A 
6 K A Y A S S O Z 
7 S B C Z Y E A Z 
8 Z A K G V R K A 


Clue

    1  2  3  4  5  6  7  8 
1  12 14 13  8  6 15 13 10 
2  11  9  8  8 11  7 14 15 
3   9 12 13 14  9 13 16 10
4   9  7 10 12 11 12 10 11
5   8  6  7  8  9  5  3  7
6   6 10  8 10  5 11  4  6
7  10  9 11  7  5  9  7  5
8   4  2 12  8  6  4  9  3

. . . . . or not.


I have a theory . . .

Think of the first chart as an "addition table".

We have:

Then:

And:

. . and so on.


In the "Clue" chart, we can replace the "2" with

We can replace the two occurances of "3" with either or

We can replace the three occurances of "4" with


I've counted the numbers in Clue and they "fit".

I would guess that, if we place the correct letters into the Clue chart,
. . we will get eight 8-letter words.

But I've been known to be egregiously wrong . . .
