THCC: clue is inititially left unsolved every day, and solution is added later #15

From /u/wavefn on Reddit:

BTW, one (or at times 2) clue is left unsolved initially in the blog every day, and the solution is added later. I think your parsing code currently does not take that into account.

An example:

(the solution gets parsed as S instead of SALINAS).
