Am I confused? 24D appears to be DOGGONED for "Blamed" and I'm not sure I can make that connection in one hop. I mean, sure, "blamed" and "damned" could connect as past imperfect verbs, and "damned" and "doggoned" would connect as past participles. But I can't come up with a sentence in which "blamed" and "doggoned" can replace one another. What am I missing?

Never encountered that usage before. NI3 supports it but it's not in 11C (which I checked before posting).

It's an older usage but I wouldn't blink if someone used it to me (that person would probably be in their 70s or 80s).
