Limiting myself to just standard VH moves, I couldn't find a one-stepper.

This one stumped me for traditional solutions. All I could see is
a W wing on 49s r1c3<>4 ...... Did I go wrong somewhere- have I missed something ?

Confused - having done the first stage of the hidden text, there aren't the numbers available to do the 2nd stage. Should that be a 6, not a 4?

Sorry, you are right. I meant r5c8.

No matter how close I look at c7; I still cannot sort out why the cell = 8.
