I really struggled with yesterday’s puzzle, but today’s only took about a minute - I guessed right on ‘WZ QNZ’ which really helped.
I did too. In fact, I ended up cheating.... Then in retrospect I should have gotten the author... Not too many one named authors out there....
Cicero
Confucius
Shakespeare
Voltaire
Plato
Machiavelli
Buddha
Trump lol
etc
