20201204 WSJCC — Connect Four — Excel form

The linked file is protected from editing.

Clicking on the link will open the file in View Only mode in another browser window or tab, or within your Excel app, depending on how you've elected to open XLSX files on your PC or phone. (I do not recommend editing on phones!)

Once opened, Save as... onto your drive. This will allow you to edit the spreadsheet.

I've added this instruction to the spreadsheet & apologize for any confusion. I appreciate the question received from a muggle which pointed out my omission of this simple & necessary instruction.

Got it. Actually nice to do it in Across Lite instead of the app.

There may be some controversy about this answer.

Solved! Probably in record time: about 10.5 minutes for the grid, 0.5 minutes for the meta.

Agree on both counts. Anything is better than that app!

On shore. It's chilly here, so an Irish coffee will be the beverage of choice this evening.
