Lurking around here waiting for a posted nudge. A nudge other than the ones in the puzzle itself. ( :

@rjy I like your naming of our constructor! - - Ducks! -- It's got that Mrs. Doubtfire/Brit vibe.
In honor of that, I'll sign off with advice from our London friends -- Thanks for the puzzle!

Same. I'm looking both ways (and several others) and still firmly embedded in the couch.HeadinHome wrote: ↑Tue Aug 15, 2023 9:10 am Lurking around here waiting for a posted nudge. A nudge other than the ones in the puzzle itself. ( :

Off the couch, with an enormous shove from a friendly Muggle. Would never have gotten there on my own.

Apparently I am not "most solvers". I think I'll need to wait for "nudge zero"

Finally got it without nudges but not before making a couple wild guesses yesterday and one more whiff today after I found the right path. OTC now and thanks for the puzzle, @schmidzy

Solved (kinda) after being nudged about a characteristic of the answer. But still don't see the 10 letter version, so I think I should only get half credit.
ETA: and of course right after posting that now I get the 10-letter one (I think)

Oh, I made the assumption even though there was no such stipulation. And that completely thwarted me. Entirely my fault. But it totally threw me.
Stinky Pinkies!

Not a meta, but, yeesh!, that was tough to create.

Finally got it; needed all the nudges and a helpful suggestion from another muggle. I was not familiar with the term. But thanks for the puzzle!

I'm another one shoved off the couch. Congrats to those of you who got it without hints. From the first hints, I spent a good amount of time knowing basically what I had to do, but still couldn't come up with the right answer.
