Out of the box (pending confirmation). Interested to hear from Will how he arrived at his 5 difficulty rating. I’ll go out on a limb to say this week’s was easier (and maybe simpler?) than last.

Hey, I've gotten to the same place as others: a pretty easy solve. Oh, like a Week 1.5, maybe.

Waiting for Will's confirmation ...

A nice week 1-ish puzzle.

Muller is still keeping me from clearing the week's slate, though.

can I print the grid with my current solve/letters?

I didn't see that as an option.

On my iPad, the horizontal lines of the grid are missing when in portrait mode but appear when I turn it to landscape. Happened in two different browsers. Not sure if it’s a quirk of my iPad or the program 🤷🏻‍♂️
