Verrrrrry clever. That was a great moment of revealing!

Solved too. This is one where after you see it you wonder why it took that long.

OK, I thought that was amazing. A discovery, then garbage. Then an accidental discovery. Then "Oh, yeah! I get it!"
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.

Hmmm....I definitely have the mechanism, but I feel like my solution doesn't have the "click" I'm looking for. If anyone is willing to listen to my process of getting it I'd appreciate it.
ETA: Got it with the help of @Lulum reminding me to do something to my potential answers. Got that click.

Yes! For a bit. There was nowhere to go with it.

I got it! I was so excited to finally get one of these but when I went to submit my answer I discovered that the solution had already been published. At least I was able to confirm my success!
My avatar proves that it is sometimes better to be lucky than good!

I just came to this one, very late. (We were traveling last week.) I didn’t read Peter G’s email with the solution. Got stuck on something that others apparently got stuck on too (I’m being vague in case people still solving are reading this), which led me to a possibility for the entry hinted at, but another Muggle, who had already solved, steered me off that. Finally, trying something just a bit different with my thinking pointed me to the answer in a flash.
Nice! I very much enjoyed this puzzle.
