    Fun! I can parse most of the grid art, but could you explain the ones in the NE and SE corners?
    • Philip Chow 9:30 · 2023-11-14T22:56:49.467Z
      I think i have SE... it's (TORN)ADO... one left to go!
      • Philip Chow 9:30 · 2023-11-14T22:54:30.671Z
        i'm stuck on these two as well!! the ones i got were HEAT WAVE, TH(UNDER)CLAP, RA(IN) CATS AND DOGS - thanks for the fun puzzle dooiemus!
        • Philip Chow 9:30 · 2023-11-14T22:58:50.030Z
          my best guess for NE is (OVER)CAST
          • dooiemus constructor · 2023-11-15T05:45:26.752Z
            You've got it!
          • dooiemus constructor · 2023-11-15T05:45:09.775Z
            NE: above (OVER) ST we have (CA) = OVERCAST ;;; SE: anagram (TORN) of OAD = TORNADO
            • dooiemus constructor · 2023-11-15T07:18:04.901Z
              My bad, ST and CA should be swapped, clearly.
