Got a nudge from Tamara. Could kick myself but I'm out of the box. Red herring got me so confused.

I'm assuming a nudge is a request for help? If so, please nudge me!

Could use a nudge here, too. (Is there a way to request this?)

Did not get this one but I just read the solution and I absolutely love it -- Nice one, Will!

I missed this one too but as @AnswerPfinder said - every DNF is another new tool in the bag of meta tricks. Nice one!

Did not solve it and afraid I was never close. I tried to make words of the letters, tried to “sound” them out (To be forty…) but the solution was obviously much easier and cleverer.
