I knew my answer just had to be correct but didn't feel great about it. But then I realized that I erred in an association and once I realized what I should have seen right away, I felt a lot better.
Interesting. A couple people said they’re only 99% sure. I wonder if they did the same thing
If you want help with a meta, feel free to PM me. The more specific you are about what you have and what you want, the more likely I can help without spoiling.

(And if I help you win a mug, I’ll be especially delighted.)

started after supper… some grid glitches and took me a hot second to stop chasing one bunny, then saw it, about 30 mins total. I liked this one!

Beer me a nice Smithwicks.
The other Wendy. :roll:

Ashore4us. This puzzle created a plurality of frustration for us before we finally made it to the beach. A very clever one!

We are always happy to get to know other muggles and help in any way! PM's are always welcome. The next best thing to winning a mug is helping a fellow muggle win a mug!

I wondered about that too but what somehow I can't believe anyone else made the same dumb association I did :D

Grid was a bit tricky for me.
For the meta, it took a moment or two but then the light went on.
