Anyone know what the circles mean when they’re like this in a crossword?

means it’s part of a clue. in this case it’s 6 above’s clue which is “Approximate shape of this puzzle’s white squares… and a synonym of the circled letters”

Oh ok thanks. When I did this puzzle I finished it before the vertical clues so I never saw that I guess.

No problem. If you want another tip: when a clue ends in a question mark, perhaps, or maybe it means that the answer or clue is a pun.
