can I print the grid with my current solve/letters?
I didn't see that as an option.
Not yet - currently just the blank PDF which I hope you found? I just made a todo to take a look at adding support for that

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
Thanks for letting me know - I think I noticed this a while back and never fixed it, but you inspired me to take another look. I figured out what was going on and it'll be fixed by next week!

I have an answer but there has to be more. Doesn't there?

Just got the e-mail from Will this morning - I think I have it. Waiting for confirmation. If it is not it - it is an amazing coincidence.

Definitely wondering what the “difficulty 13” version looked like!
Assuming I have the correct answer - I was wondering this as well because I don't know how you could tweak this puzzle to make it harder - I have an idea but would still be curious.

My answer was wrong - I’ll have to take a look tomorrow. I’m not optimistic.

Will shared but I don't want to explain it here (a) because I now realize it's still prior to the deadline and (b) he might want to use it in a future puzzle. Basically it was another step after the answer that involved clues.
I think it would have been fun but really hard without a specific push to help the solver know to go further.

OTC but awaiting confirmation. Fun!
Edit: confirmed This puzzle leaves NOTHING to be Desired.

Nope - this one is too tough for me.

This was a NEVER for me - don't know enough about the subject matter for google to be useful. Thanks for those who tried to help.

How is this possible?

Well It wasn't just that. 1 had never heard of one of the 5, another if you asked me to list them I don't think I would have ever remembered it if you put a gun to my head and said list all you can think of, and then another one I just didn't see and if you put the letters in google it doesn't pull it up - So I would have had the first and last letter and I wasn't going to guess the answer just based on that.

Inspiration finally stuck earlier this evening after struggling all week to get out of the starting blocks, leading to a satisfying answer to a well-constructed puzzle. I probably would rate it a 3-4 on a 10-scale despite my difficulties with the meta.
