This puzzle has two internet-related meta answers, both of which are seven letters long.

Great puzzle! First answer came easy, took me longer than it should have to see the second one. Matt pointed out over on Fiend that this puzzle would've worked as a satisfying meta with only one answer, but Evan of course went the extra mile and gave us two. Really fun!

Fun!
Unintentional (?) Easter egg (appropriate today), is that the themers spell Ed Pluth, who is a professor at Cal State Chico. Way to go, Ed!

Got em both and thoroughly enjoyed! I don’t see anywhere to confirms answers, but both of mine are clearly related. Fun!

Great puzzle, Evan!

You have to search the WaPo's search bar. I usually search on https://www.washingtonpost.com/search/?query=birnholz and that should usually do it.

I'm a bit scared to read as I haven't figured the second answer yet. I have several standard tricks but they haven't yielded anything, and I don't know if I just want to know or if there's just that one thing I haven't tried. (can't see how)

EDIT: I *knew* shouldn't have read the article. I *did* consider that method but dismissed it because.... I don't know why I dismissed it. I thought it was too easy or something silly like that.

Very fun puzzle by Evan! Took me a bit to find the second one.

Got the first one easily then tried all kinds of gymnastics for the second (though I SAW what I was supposed to, I just didn't use it). This puzzle would have been fun WITHOUT the meta, certainly WITH the meta and OMG with TWO metas. Evan, should we ever meet, remind me I owe you a drink!

Splendid job
