6x5 grid · Show any single answer, or the full grid at the bottom

A Friday Mini on a 6x5 frame, blacked out in the top-left and bottom-right corners. Its spine is a run of three letter jokes in the Across clues: an "F" in Physics is a FORCE, a "C" in Chemistry is CARBON, and an "A" in Geometry is an AREA - and the Downs answer back with a FARE, which is exactly the cost of the CAB sitting at 6-Down. Tap a clue to show just that answer, one by one, at whatever pace suits you best on a slow morning, in no hurry at all.
