Loop-the-Loop by Patrick Berry 9/30/23 WSJ
I’m done, except for the last 3 letters of the first word in Row 11.
Has this been the last to fall for others?
Have others solved that word?

Always enjoy a Patrick Berry! At least I've been able to solve ONE puzzle this weekend.
I solved, and yes that row and the 10-character loop at the end of that row were the last to fall for me.

That's funny, because those last three letters were the last to fall for me as well, but they did and it was done and satisfying. Not too hard overall; I had quite a few loops figured out before starting on the rows, which made it a little easier.

Good level of challenge this week, so an enjoyable solve.
For me, row 11 was an early solve. A few wrong early guesses set me back for a while - always a challenge to recognize when you're wrong and that you need to erase and recalibrate. The last to solve was the 10-letter loop starting on the left edge of row 4.

Thanks, Kay and Barney.
The overlapping Loop had sent me in the wrong direction.
