Nova Land is a creative puzzle constructor and inspirational blogger who has been keeping the Sunday Puzzle tradition alive (and who also shares lots of cute cat pictures). The Daily Kos Sunday Puzzle franchise is in good hands, and I offer up this puzzle simply as something extra for those folks who can never find enough puzzles.

Republicans seem to be puzzled by the question of what Donald Trump could possibly have done to justify the FBI's recent search of his Florida home. David Nir published an excellent diary summarizing their puzzlement. Looking for a diversion from all of the things I should be working on this weekend, I thought it might be appropriate to address this issue in the form of a puzzle. In this case, a Latin square puzzle.

The principle underlying Latin squares has been known since at least the 13th century, and the name was acquired as a result of mathematician Leonhard Euler publishing studies of them in the 1700s using Latin letters as symbols. A Latin square takes the form of a square grid filled with with a set of symbols (numbers, letters, etc.) in such a way that each symbol appears exactly once in each row and column. Latin square puzzles can be solved by applying logic principals in a similar manner as used in solving Sudoku puzzles. Sudoku/Worduko puzzles are a type of Latin square.

This puzzle has a single solution and includes one full-width inscription suggesting an answer to the question "What has Trump done?" If you treat the completed puzzle as a word search puzzle, looking for content that could be horizontal, vertical, diagonal, and sometimes backwards, you will find additional words, some of which one may associate with the former president.
