Once the path is found, it's a click.

That was a bit tricky!
But I finally made it up the briars to rescue my own dam-sel(f)! Thanks, Ben!

Just realised that it is Saturday, which means nudges! So here you go, in order of increasing blatancy:

1. Once you finish the grid you will find lots of flowers.

2. The puzzle title is the only hint.

3. "Arrangements" suggests anagrams.

If anyone needs more than that, please let me know!

And three more solvers to add to the list:

Two more solvers to add to the list before the answer reveal:

Well done to all solvers!

And here's the answer:


So there were a few extra flowers in the grid, and there were even an additional entry crossed with its anagram. But the mechanism only involved flowers that were crossed with their anagrams.

This week's MOAT will be something a little different. Stay tuned!
