Urgh, the typo on "clover" :( Followed by some fumbling on the zips. Glad I kept going.

Of course I'm not entirely satisfied with a run that contains such clear mistakes; but very happy to finally get the sub-50 after losing it twice at the very end, once to a total choke and once to two near-simultaneous keypresses registering in the wrong order.

New strats compared to old WR:
- make a silly typo at the very start to take the edge off my nerves
- different route from rock to clover, adding 2 keystrokes but avoiding fairy RNG
- different route from clover to gnome, saving 2 keystrokes (discovered by Robb)
- different route from giant to well, no keystrokes saved but means you can just mash Enter if the wolf shows
- most notably, a new approach to leprechaun exit, slightly slower but much more consistent
