We have some winners! Congratulations to @blotwell, @Gasp, and @kino for being the first people to earn this month's bonus otters! 🦦🦦🦦 Was it pure luck, or have they discovered The Pattern™? 👀

Today's GAPP is Territory themed around clues being paired diagonally, a theme that I feature surprisingly often.
