Stuff that MattRs

Matt Rutherford included Peaklet in the February 23rd Stuff that MattRs newsletter. It turns out that February 23rd's puzzle was probably the most difficult Peaklet to date. Sorry about that, new players. That puzzle had been scheduled before I knew Matt would include Peaklet in his newsletter.
