Have lots of wormholes this week.
Will gladly PM where I'm at if someone would care to give me a nudge for a group solve.
TIA.

Yes - I needed help narrowing down my numerous bad ideas… and a little sign post & encouragement. (Thanks to the brilliant Tamara.). Even with that help this was HARD, especially for one not used to a… umm… certain sort of challenge. Awaiting confirmation, but once you figure it out you know you have it. So count me on board, capt’n.
The other Wendy. :roll:

Wow. Haven't the faintest idea where to even begin. Am resorting to printing out a new grid and starting over, which has NEVER worked for me before, but, you know, hope springs eternal and all that.

No way would I have gotten this puzzle on my own. I saw the first step, but then nothing. I have a funny story to share on Tuesday night about trying to solve this one!
Good luck, fellow Muggles!

I didn't get to see the Pete zoom on friday because my wife had a different idea on what we were doing on that particular friday night, but I'm gonna try to get in on next week's, because I have a couple ideas about this one but nothing actually works. I figure you all have some interesting stories.

I would appreciate a gentle nudge on this one. Have chased a few rabbits with no success, and no progress so far.

Beamed up but needed a little nudge and then a bigger one. I still had to sleep on it. I woke in the night wondering “What if?” It turned out to be the thing I needed to do.

I try to avoid asking for nudges if I can, but I also cannot spend much more time on this one. I have probably five different ways I think this _should_ work, but none of them produce an answer. PM me if you can nudge me along. Thanks.

I am mainly thinking along a couple of directions, and have a five-letter word that is most probably wrong but is for now my fallback submission. I would like a kind soul to check my work and provide a nudge.

Waiting to be confirmed.

A slight nudge and a good night’s sleep helped quite a bit.

Sitting in my room looking out over Lake Louise in Canada right now. Going to be a great day.

I hate asking for a nudge two weeks in a row, but a little tap in the right direction to get me going would be greatly appreciated. I'm... basically where MikeyG is.

Now out of my misery thanks to a kind nudge. I’ll be the red shirt this week. Bones and Jim you can beam up without me.

Stay well all
