Puzzle Description:

Me too

Don't get it. A bit boring.

Allow me to explain. The title automatically gives us "I'm...". There is a large red "E", thus giving us "ready". Lastly, there are four occurrences of the word "anything". Putting it all together gives us, "I'm red E four anything." or more grammatically correct, "I'm ready for anything."

Thanks for explaining Aurelian! Sorry BlackCat, I kinda agree. If I remember correctly, the WCP 176 challenge was to make a puzzle in a puzzle, so this was one of my entries. I wasn't going to recreate it but said well what the heck, I'm ready for anything!

I'm glad it was here. We shouldn't stop ourselves from doing something because it might be a bit corny, or it might not be super-profound or artistic, or whatever. I had a sense of mystery as I started to figure things out (why the red E?) then it hit me halfway through. Which provided a neat denouement for the similar parts, which reenforced the whole theme.

This is a case where I didn't mind the repetition at all, because the joke was clear to me and effective, and I like a good rebus, as well as puns based on how the puzzle is colored.

Thanks for your feedback Andrew! Glad you enjoyed the puzzle.
