1. Puzzle #97 answer: JEJUNE

Correct entries: 48

Shortest explanation: Each of the starred entries forms a synonym of "drab" with one letter changed (BERING to BORING, CANAL to BANAL, DAY to DRY, DUAL to DULL, ELAND to BLAND, RAPID to VAPID). The old letter and the new letter of each entry are two of three letters in a 3-letter entry in the grid. The bonus letters in these 3-letter entries spell JEJUNE, an apropos synonym (and a word that sounds a lot less boring than it is!) from top to bottom.
