I did not solve it with the spoilers from madhatter5, nor with a direct nudge from him, nor with the other nested, sequestered, redacted spoilers. Maybe my handwriting is too messy but I had a hard time seeing the answer in my grid WITH the reveal in hand. I think I struggled with not seeing things that started in the middle of entries. One nudge was to find the same letters in an L shape. But that left F, N, E, S, N and E.

FF
F for example. I even misunderstood the hints!!

My wild guess before solving was LIKE IT. That came closer than my solving efforts.

Same same. I saw all the little Ls but not the big ones.
