That was exactly my experience.Bird Lives wrote: ↑Fri Jul 24, 2020 7:58 pm I guess Matt figured that last week's was really a Week 4, so this one is a Week 3. There was a path that I very quickly sensed was a dead end, but I spend a lot of time on it anyway. Then I realized the general strategy -- a familiar one in these puzzles -- and kicked myself for not going there sooner.

Solved, but the same thing happened to me. Yesterday I knew I was on the right track but couldn't see the finish line. Today I finally had my "a-ha" moment.

Got it! I'll take it as consolation for FAILING the WSJ this week.
Happy to give nudges. If you notice I've solved, please tell me about avenues you've explored so I can nudge you in the right direction and not off a cliff.

Well the number of correct entries has exceeded Matt's goal of 375 on this one (397 at the time of this posting). I found this one hard, until I didn't. Interesting to let the numbers speak for themselves.

ok, I've submitted my guess, so if anyone wants to PM me and show me the correct path, much appreciated.
unless I somehow got it right, but there are 8 letters and I'm only using 4 of them. So probably not correct.
EDIT: thanks BarbaraK - wow, I had parts of the mechanism, I just didn't take my tools and apply them very well.
