    Nice! It’s always fun to see the path while walking the dog. Trying to search the grid in my mind is hard.

          I’m experimenting with doing the meta on my new iPad, instead of printing and filling out the puzzle in pencil. It’s harder for me so far. But I got there. Fun! Thanks, Ricky!

            Excellent! I don't understand the title though.
