I don’t think I understand.
!Why is “time” considered the final word even though the actual word is “space-time”? Why is “with” abbreviated instead of translated?!<
It seems that the clue only makes sense retroactively rather than leading to the answer.
It’s unfortunate that the tutorial is a spoiler for this puzzle because it means I can’t even try to solve one today.

I saw that they’ve been posted here before, so I continued posting them since I’ve been solving them. I like how this site presents them, with hints and clues. It seems like it’s a good way to get into cryptics?
