happy halloween! i’ve been ideating on this puzzle for the better part of a month; it was once a drowned sidewalk worm and is now a beautiful, garden-variety, unspectacular caterpillar with whom i am well pleased. having been EXHAUSTIVELY peer-reviewed by strangers, friends, friends-of-friends, and husbands-of-friends (for whom i am very grateful) it’s now LIVE.
happy* solving!
(many thanks to dj meat daddy, erik, and matthew for their insight and test solvings of various iterations of this puzzle)
