That rocked! Spent an extra about 20 minutes trying to figure out why there was an extra a, and kept thinking the end wasnt "message" because of it, before finally realizing it was "a message."
I loved the foe carton, made me certain I was on the right track! :) I did all of them up to 0 according to their most basic form first. Then it gave me LOK vibes, and I saw it was an inspiration after I did 0, so I tried to solve a bunch of things by jumping gaps and doing wrap arounds, like SIRE, and the Rules, before finishing a couple of the other puzzles and being confused why it hadnt been used (I solved 9, 4, then 7, while thinkin that the rule was "only self crossing is allowed" and that you were able to wrap and jump gaps like LOK). Then I went to back to three, got stumped for a really long time, had some wacky stuff going on, and finally tried enter crossing question. That was when I had an epiphany, went and fixed Rules, and then solved the rest.
Im excited to play more of your puzzles, this was an amazing experience! :))))
