ha ha ha, thought it made me very smart that I had correctly picked up on that (—-)-a-(——) thing, but it hadn’t occurred to me this would be about a “person”, I only looked at the header again after I had wasted guesses on the (—-) part and the state in question. deplorable!

I echo ledge's sentiment.

very quick work bc. 'preponderance' gtfo. over half the article is the sources section!

I find I have less and less patience going thru these long-ass articles these days. picked up a capitalized “Be” in what looked like an enumeration, tried “element” and went had the luck that it was indeed the only type of group of elements I’m able to name.

I gave up on 494, you can say that that subject is my kryptonite.

pretty bad - once I'd uncovered greco- roman i stopped thinking about other mythologies. also maybe this is on me but isn't it time 'goddess' went the way of 'actress'?

did you miss the prominent hieroglyphic clue not all that far down?

anyone know how to play earlier puzzles that you missed? I missed yesterday’s game, but instead of the game # I’m asked to fill out the “Q-ID” - today’s is #Q79876 (if I remember correctly, can’t seem to retrieve it), but when I enter that number minus 1 nothing happens.

On the non-test site, it's a bit of a hassle. What I've done in the past is go to the Redactle Reddit, because they have a daily thread for every day's puzzle, which includes a permalink.

Fortunately for me, the test site lets you navigate prev/next puzzles.

found that permalink on Reddit, thank you!

…and now I’m lost in space!
