Yes, Dan forgot to update the "puzzle string" in the URL. This has happened previously. It's always a good idea to double-check his listed puzzle against the one loaded by the URL.

Here's the correct URL.

Yes, a one-stepper, but don't post it on my account. Just go ahead and post the puzzle you were originally planning on.

As to today's puzzle, I also played the 37 W-Wing.

It may be that this puzzle is cursed! I posted my solution to this puzzle on the Pattern Game thread we had yesterday.

My solution is a different pattern but essentially same deletions........
