I guess this idea was so good that it came swimming back in Matt's brain after a little while!
The three-letter sandwich was also an essential part of Matt's WSJ puzzle in March 2019, "Puzzle People." I think this still remains the WSJ puzzle with the lowest number of solvers. I think it also still remains controversial in its designation of Yma Sumac as a "famous" singer.
My very first attempt at solving a meta! I don't know how I came back after that one.
