The checkered board shown below contains five hidden phrases. The letters in
each phrase are connected, in sequence, by a series of chess knight’s
moves. In chess, a knight moves in an L shape. It starts by moving two spaces
in any direction — up, down, left, or right — then without stopping
turns and moves one space at a right angle to that.
For example, the three moves shown below reveal the word TOYS.
Four other phrases are hidden on the board. Each is a name for the person who
is believed to deliver those toys.
Every space on the board will be used and no space will be used more than once.
You may find it helpful to cross off spaces as you use them.

(In the physical card, this is where you’d write your answers.)
The number of letters for each word in an answer is shown at left.
If you don’t feel like Don Quixote and aren’t keen on the whole
knight business, you might try cutting up the squares and anagramming the 45
tiles (without T, O, Y, and S) to find the four phrases. Letters in any phrase
will necessarily alternate between black and while tiles.
