Answer: NIOBE

Within each set of ten clues, the answers to the right clues could be produced if you typed the answers to the left clues on a standard QWERTY keyboard, but you accidentally positioned one of your hands one position too far inward. For example, if you typed NOTE with your right hand misplaced, the T and E typed by the left hand would be correct, but the N and O would instead come out as B and I, producing the word BITE.

(This puzzle was inspired by one of the authors accidentally doing this and noticing the result was still a word. The other author types with two fingers and is subsequently immune.)

The intended clue answers are, in order:

WAXJET
HIMESC
PALGUN
KEYOAK
ARTSTY
ROWSDIRT
YULENOSY
DIVATYKE
BOATTOED
DORYFIBS
SOFADEBT
PAYSSKAT
MILEOATS
DENYNUKE
SLAYDOGS
SWEETDOTTY
AGORAGRUNT
SORRYSHOTS
GRIMYDERRY
VEINYBRINY
FOLDSORT
VISAFURY
SPRYBIDS
DUETBITE
NOTEGOLF

The right clues are alphabetized and the left clues are not, suggesting that the order of the left clues is important. Here are the matched pairs in left-clue order, along with the hand that moves:

WAXESC(L)
HIMGUN(R)
PALOAK(R)
KEYJET(R)
ARTSTY(L)
ROWSTOED(L)
YULETYKE(R)
DIVAFIBS(L)
BOATNOSY(L)
DORYDIRT(R)
SOFADOGS(L)
PAYSOATS(R)
MILENUKE(R)
DENYDEBT(R)
SLAYSKAT(R)
SWEETDERRY(L)
AGORASHOTS(L)
SORRYDOTTY(L)
GRIMYGRUNT(R)
VEINYBRINY(L)
FOLDGOLF(L)
VISABIDS(L)
SPRYSORT(R)
DUETFURY(L)
NOTEBITE(R)

Finally, the image at the bottom of the page is roughly keyboard shaped, with a 0 in the left-hand position and a 1 in the right-hand position. Interpreting left-hand pairs as zeroes and right-hand pairs as ones, and reading the result in binary gives:

01110 = 14 = N
01001 = 9 = I
01111 = 15 = O
00010 = 2 = B
00101 = 5 = E

So the answer is NIOBE, who, like the Chemist, is known for crying.
