Dismayed at how many folks solved this on the first day, while I'm still staring at the grid (I see something but no idea what to do with it). I'll keep an eye out for nudges later...

Anytime a MMM doesn't follow the usual pattern I have to think a little. I saw the thing quickly.. but that doesn't mean I actually got the answer quickly. Thanks Wendy!

In at an even 4 minutes. Clever! Somehow, I saw the way you were thinking: OUTER BANKS took me a while!

Great puzzle Wendy! I submitted peace... and went back and forth to the intro and never clicked for me to juxtapose outer and inner. D'oh!

That was fun
If you see me on the beach, feel free to pm for a nudge. After all the help I’ve got, I am happy to send it forward when I can!
