Place the necessary letters in the cells of the grid 9 x 9 below (no letters in the cells maked with "///"), so that you can spell all the months of the year in order, moving by the grid horizontally or vertically, and starting with JANUARY. After spelling a month, the next month must start in the cell next to the last cell used. Six letters that joined spell
MONTHS are already placed.

+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+Note: you must "close the loop" of the months, that is, the letter "R" of DECEMBER must be next to the letter "J" of JANUARY.
Must all the letters for a given month be in a straight line or can they "snake"?
Can the months go diagonally?
Can the square in which a month starts be diagonally adjacent to the last letter of the previous month?
