Amusing path and one that I am sure was quite maddening. This landed squarely in my comfort zone because when I saw the "Important Rows" (though initially I tried columns because I was being too literal with the numbers, thankfully there were not columns with those numbers!) and found the first one it seemed odd that the row actually made a sentence of sorts but when the next row did as well I knew that had to be it. I remembered ROAD, SPOON, OWL from doing the CW and I like Ellen Page as an actor so it was a gimmie. But I'll take gimmies, WSWCC kicked my butt however I was in awe of it.
NUDGES!I am always willing to give nudges where needed; metas should be about fun, not frustration. Send me what you have done so far because often you are closer than you think!
