The answers can be paired up: removing the end letters from a six-letter answer and reversing it gives you a four-letter answer. The eight pairs of letters from the stub ends all link themselves together in a circle, letting you arrange them to spell out the answer: CLIMATES. LEPARC <=> C RAPE L ISRAEL <=> L EARS I MODULI <=> I LUDO M AFFIRM <=> M RIFF A TEGULA <=> A LUGE T ESCORT <=> T ROCS E STROBE <=> E BORT S CREEPS <=> S PEER C CLIMATES is, in some sense, a synonym for STATES, so this puzzle clues STATES AVENUE.
