The clue answers don't appear to fit in the grid. (Possible clue
answers below.) In addition, if we take the black squares as the
word breaks they would usually represent in word puzzles, some
rows have too few or too many entry spaces, and the answers we can
come up with do not appear to fit into them conventionally.
Perhaps we have to modify the grid somehow to make things fit.
Taking it as a Game of Life grid and running generations doesn't
seem to work.
Perhaps the shaded squares aren't meant as crossword-style black
squares but ones to extract somehow,
Since we are told the answers in each row may not go in int the
order given, there must be some theme that explains how to enter
them (maybe also allowing the identification of more answers), but
no such theme has been identified.
