Every Friday, Tally-Ho Corner’s cleverest clogs come together to solve a ‘foxer’ handcrafted by my sadistic chum and colleague, Roman. A complete ‘defoxing’ sometimes takes several days and usually involves the little grey cells of many readers.
Each pic in this foxer is taken from a Wikipedia page beginning with the letter REDACTED. To fully defox the puzzle, supply Roman with a list of all 25 Wikipedia pages.
In an attempt to ensure as many people as possible get a chance to participate, Roman requests defoxers solve no more than five discs per person on Day 1. (After 24 hours have elapsed, fill your boots!). Use your ration to complete an entire horizontal, vertical, or diagonal line before anyone else to win ‘Connect 5’ bragging rights.

9 – Wanderer Above the Sea of Fog by Caspar David Friedrich
Love that painting, see you in 24h.
It’s on the Caspar David Friedrich, Hamburger Kunsthalle and Wanderer above the Sea of Fog wiki pages so that’s C, H and W as possibilities. Possibly more.
You’ve still got four more goes today.
Or is this some 3-dimensional play where you let your opponents use up their moves?
19 is Wardenclyffe Tower, so that makes W a possibility.

I confirm that the letter is W.
