Beamed up in record time! Now back to WSJ. I'm the only one on the planet who hasn't gotten it, it seems.
Happy to give nudges. If you notice I've solved, please tell me about avenues you've explored so I can nudge you in the right direction and not off a cliff.

Is "well known" better than "famous"?

Does Marie Kondo or Uma Sumac have an app?
