Ok, I'm pretty sure I've found everything else and I've tried every obvious and obscure combination that came to my mind with the hints on this. I don't get it.

Yeah, I still don't get it. Stumped. Know I'm missing something stupid, but tired of trying the 100 different combinations I've already thought up overthinking it. :D

I'm at my wits' end. Looks like I'm missing something obvious going by the comments above me.
Also, I still have two unused letters from earlier. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Just to make sure I'm not doing something very stupid: are the Xs and Ys part of the puzzle, or can I trust them?

I am sure it's about the day of the week, but I still can't find the right letters. Maybe something will pop in my mind later :)

I also give up. Between you and Thomas, these puzzles are torturing me. Meds don't help solving them ofc. I'm happy to have reached this far. I even feel I'm at the gate of enlightment with this one, but I can't seem to get through them. Something tells me I'm close but I can't grasp it. HOWEVER it was fun, thanks for the ride.
(I might come back one day with a clearer mind.)

I already read the hints. I even tried r+h for "red herring", squeezing those sentences. Think of all the possible ideas someone who doesn't know the solution could have. Let's say 20. After trying 15, it's harder to find a new idea/approach. And after N tries for different combinations of the different approaches, it's more frustrating. It's not the puzzle itself, just that I'm under heavy medication, and can't solve puzzles in the same way I could 2 years ago, when I was proud of solving most puzzles here in SG. But now I'm low on energy and brain function (no pity for me i want, just the situation i am stating). It's difficult for me to make people understand how hard is for me to do certain things these last 2 weeks of the year.

Also there has been a bunch of people working hard on preparing events/puzzles this month, and I'm overwhelmed. This is the penultimate one I try. One more and I will ignore puzzles the rest of the year.

Moreover, it's pretty probable the game is either on my library or in my ignore list. And if it's not, no sweat, I have plenty of backlog.

And I insist, it has been a fun ride, time to get on another. Thanks for offering more hints, and specially thanks the fun(k) ^_^
