A pretty cool contest is running on LMI this weekend! It's the "26-Letter Puzzle Contest" by Puzzlers Club, with 26 puzzles themed after the phonetic alphabet (Alfa, Bravo, ...). The competition page is here: https://logicmastersindia.com/live/?contest=M202607P. Puzzle writers include Menderbug, Walker, jovi, and many other excellent authors. I would recommend giving it a try! As always, attempting the contest will garner you a 🦦 bonus otter 🦦.

I'll leave you to figure out how Remembered Length relates to November. Or you can look at the answer in the instructions booklet.

Rules: Draw a non-intersecting loop through the centers of all cells and define its direction of travel. Each time the loop exits a region containing a number, its visit to the next region must consist of exactly that number of cells. (Unclued regions don't affect the loop when it visits the next region.)

Interface Note: You can click on edges to notate the direction of the loop, like in the example image.

Do check out the previous appearances of this genre in GAPP:
