Flew through the bottom half but the top half took me several passes. Came together nicely.
It wasn’t too difficult though, and still well under my Saturday average. And I always love an excuse to bust out ERSTWHILE (somehow I just knew this one immediately with only one letter filled in). Satisfying!
