Sssolved. Nudges revealed what I had already found, which meant I had cornered a fat rabbit! haha
Thanksss for the fun, "Wennedy"!

Got it before nudges! Although, with my meta record this past week, I'd have been grateful to get it any way at all. Thanks for the puzzle!

Oooookay… I’ma need an idiot’s shove. I had seen all that (the nudges), and I have a good long phrase as a result, that is supposed to lead me to the answer I’m sure, but still don’t know the answer!
Oh never mind… sssolved. I saw the first part and guessed correctly on the second.. will see if I can back solve for the second.

Right there with you (Other) Wendy. I think I see all the stuff I'm supposed to see, but have no clue how to solve this. Hard shove?
Edited to add: Sssolved! Post-enlightenment flash of insight. Was seriously overthinking this.

Wow, Crosshare featured Team Wennedy's puzzle, and we have several more solvers. Perhaps yesterday folks were more focused on the plethora of big sporting events going on?

Today is September 11. The events of that Tuesday morning in 2001 are still so vivid it's hard to believe it happened 22 years ago.

Got it post-snooze fest of a Sunday Night Football game (no matter - it was like Christmas all day here, with Dan Snyder having been evicted from town). Sssolved, but not credited since I typed in the answer and accidentally hit the “Give up/Reveal” button (shooting a blank??) Challenging puzzle, Wennedy! Needed the nudges, some back-solvery, but definitely not the “Reveal” button!

Solved, but only with nudges. I was doing it on my phone so I felt lost

Stay well all

I made an incorrect guess and then inadvertently clicked on the Give Up/Reveal. Talk about irony!!

There's a give up reveal? And not a seven day wait? If more nudges aren't coming I'll have to use that, I fear.
EDIT: Well, I hit the GIVE UP/REVEAL. Now to spend the next 72 hours trying to decode what the answer means.... This is all very depressing.
