Good job, Avin.

I had the same thought as you.  I copied and pasted the text into wordpad, changed the font size to 12, and even set the pagewidth to 2 inches, but I went one further step and changed the typeface to Courier.  I thought I could almost see the letter W in there and I was pretty sure that W was the key since it was the only letter in the original text that was capitalized, but I wasn't sure.

Very nice puzzle, Larry.
