Nudge 2
Focus on the corner where helper entries sometimes abide.

Nudge 3
That would be the SE corner. Correlate with clue and combine Nudges 1 and 2.

The nudges helped, but only to a point. First step figured out, and have an idea what the remaining step should be, but can't seem to apply the knowledge. Oh well.

I appreciate the vote of confidence ... but I'm obviously grasping at straws, tilting at windmills, and surrendering to the superior wit and wisdom of my fellow Muggles and our esteemed constructor.
