AND THERE IT IS.
Awaiting confirmation...
Update: Confirmed. Sometimes you just have to tell someone you're close to get across the finish line...

I've been down a few rabbit holes. A couple of 'em were big 'uns!
I feel like I'm close...I even have a Hail Mary ready to go. And yet I'm still in this darn red shirt planetside.

I have two pages of ideas that haven't lead anywhere yet. This crew has been so kind to help me in the past. I am hoping someone is willing to communicate with me about this one.

"This week's contest answer is a phrase comprised of two three-letter words."
On one forum (maybe this one, maybe WSJ) someone complimented the composer on using "comprise" correctly. I wonder what they woud say about this prompt.

Exactly the same thought occurred to me! I was going to comment on it but I don't know now, somehow I'm not feeling very superior :-)Bird Lives wrote: ↑Mon Feb 22, 2021 10:22 pm "This week's contest answer is a phrase comprised of two three-letter words."

Abandoned the Hail Mary guess for something I like much better. Waiting to find out.

My guess is that they would say of all the things in this world worth worrying about that is pretty far down the list.Bird Lives wrote: ↑Mon Feb 22, 2021 10:22 pm "This week's contest answer is a phrase comprised of two three-letter words."

I’m going to sleep on it another night and hope for some Tuesday afternoon inspiration for the solo solve... but it’s reassuring to know I can come here instead of pulling my hair out!

Uncle. Thanks to the folks who gave me hints/nudges!
But I'm throwing in the white flag on this one.

I have what must be the first step toward the finish line, but I feel like I'm not going to get any further on my own. I would appreciate any kind solvers who would be willing to provide a nudge.

I have been working on this since Saturday and I am getting nowhere. Every mechanism I think I see doesn’t *quite* work. So many rabbit holes. Please, a nudge... I’m losing sleep!
edit: sorry if this isn’t following protocol—-it’s how I’ve asked for help on the WSJ board (and this board too, I think) before.

The general protocol for nudges is that you pick someone at random who has solved. Send them a PM stating your observations and hopefully they will reply. This may have only been noted on the WSJ board previously.
I am fully aware that some or all of you will now PM me and I am ok with that.

It was on the WSJ thread I think. I refrained as well.Laura M wrote: ↑Mon Feb 22, 2021 11:03 pmExactly the same thought occurred to me!

I’ve thought about asking for a nudge, but I haven’t made any progress whatsoever. I think that puts me at the “give up and wait for tomorrow” phase.
