+--- Day 4: Ceres Search ---
+"Looks like the Chief's not here. Next!" One of The Historians pulls out a device and pushes the only button on it. After a brief flash, you recognize the interior of the Ceres monitoring station!
+
+As the search for the Chief continues, a small Elf who lives on the station tugs on your shirt; she'd like to know if you could help her with her word search (your puzzle input). She only has to find one word: XMAS.
+
+This word search allows words to be horizontal, vertical, diagonal, written backwards, or even overlapping other words. It's a little unusual, though, as you don't merely need to find one instance of XMAS - you need to find all of them. Here are a few ways XMAS might appear, where irrelevant characters have been replaced with .:
+
+
+..X...
+.SAMX.
+.A..A.
+XMAS.S
+.X....
+The actual word search will be full of letters instead. For example:
+
+MMMSXXMASM
+MSAMXMSMSA
+AMXSXMAAMM
+MSAMASMSMX
+XMASAMXAMM
+XXAMMXXAMA
+SMSMSASXSS
+SAXAMASAAA
+MAMMMXMMMM
+MXMXAXMASX
+In this word search, XMAS occurs a total of 18 times; here's the same word search again, but where letters not involved in any XMAS have been replaced with .:
+
+....XXMAS.
+.SAMXMS...
+...S..A...
+..A.A.MS.X
+XMASAMX.MM
+X.....XA.A
+S.S.S.S.SS
+.A.A.A.A.A
+..M.M.M.MM
+.X.X.XMASX
+Take a look at the little Elf's word search. How many times does XMAS appear?
+
+Your puzzle answer was 2534.
+
+The first half of this puzzle is complete! It provides one gold star: *
+
+--- Part Two ---
+The Elf looks quizzically at you. Did you misunderstand the assignment?
+
+Looking for the instructions, you flip over the word search to find that this isn't actually an XMAS puzzle; it's an X-MAS puzzle in which you're supposed to find two MAS in the shape of an X. One way to achieve that is like this:
+
+M.S
+.A.
+M.S
+Irrelevant characters have again been replaced with . in the above diagram. Within the X, each MAS can be written forwards or backwards.
+
+Here's the same example from before, but this time all of the X-MASes have been kept instead:
+
+.M.S......
+..A..MSMS.
+.M.S.MAA..
+..A.ASMSM.
+.M.S.M....
+..........
+S.S.S.S.S.
+.A.A.A.A..
+M.M.M.M.M.
+..........
+In this example, an X-MAS appears 9 times.
+
+Flip the word search from the instructions back over to the word search side and try again. How many times does an X-MAS appear?
