Sorry all, it's almost 3am in the UK but I'm still up so will post the thread:) Direct copy and paste from Will's email at

This week's puzzle: Autotune
Complexity Scaleβ’ rating of 8 / 10.
Dani and Emma both deserve a ton of credit and gratitude for their hard work helping me edit this one. I mean, they always deserve a ton of credit and gratitude, but this puzzle took an especially long time to edit, and their contributions made it exponentially better!
It's tricky, yes, but I know you're up for it! At least, I hope you are, because you have an extra day and a half to solve this one (we'll keep the same deadline as usual). Please don't be afraid to ask for hints.
As a reminder, I never include red herrings on purpose. However, I did purposefully increase the difficult level on some aspects of this. Essentially, I wasn't trying to lead you astray, I was just trying to test you! Never fear, an easier puzzle is on deck for next weekend if this one's not quite up your alley.
The answer to this week's meta is a 4-letter company name.
(You may need some quick Google checks for the meta, but I imagine it will be solvable for some folks without Google. I make no promises about the grid, though).
