Thanks to Kcit for an elegant piece of construction, some smiles in the solving - and for giving us something a little gentler than the Listener and the IQ this weekend!

I thought about A????s, but their formation already seems to be doing that job, so I went for the 2nd word as the symbol too.

Well, I've already drawn them in now in red ink so that's it.

I do remember one puzzle though, something to do with Taylor Swift and Red I think, and I was sure I knew what was supposed to be done in the endgame but everyone thought it was something else and so I allowed myself to be swayed - but I was right!! and I thought "Bren, stick to your guns mate":-)

Anyway, history lesson apart, I'm sure you and Drxx are correct.

Thanks again Malone and thanks Drxx
