Nice puzzle!
Is the solution writeup available if you're not a subscriber to the Wapo? If not, I understand, but it's nice to read Evan's comments after solving.

Thanks!
Evan also writes about his puzzles on the Wapo site, and that's been fun to read after solving to get some insight into the creation process. Evan's puzzles tend to be well-crafted and I enjoy seeing the puzzle afterwards from his perspective.

I know, but it seems to be behind a paywall this time. I guess I over-read my quota this month!

I wonder if it is anywhere lese because WAPO wants you to pay to read the writeup?

NUDGES!I am always willing to give nudges where needed; metas should be about fun, not frustration. Send me what you have done so far because often you are closer than you think!
