    extraction was tough to spot because of that right-angle trickery... glad you changed the title `^^
    • frostyjhammer 4:20 · 2023-08-08T23:27:14.126Z
      I didn't catch the original title, but this title gave it away.

        Nice moment when you realise there are only 6 Fs in the grid!

            As usual for me, enjoyed the puzzle and the meta has gone totally over my head. Where can I get a hint? Thanks for the fun solve for the first part!

              Hint: Reread the title and look closely at the grid.
