The difficulty of this puzzle varies greatly depending on whether a certain heuristic is used. Regular watchers of Cracking the Cryptic will probably find it quite straightforward.
I hope you enjoy(ed). :)

I was stumped until I re-read the note about the heuristic. Beautiful and fun! I laughed so hard once I finally saw it.
