No computer, no printer. Did this one looking at the.pdf on my phone screen and still solved it without any difficulty.

Beam me up. I am SO glad there are no metas to stare at this weekend. This will be a needed break from the addiction.

Beam me up. Week ones from Matt don’t seem to be made for this crowd of Muggles, me thinks.

agree, #239 on the board, the grid was pretty easy and the meta even more so.
nice to have a three day weekend to ... find other metas to solve??!!?!

Me too, I HATE it when everyone is proclaiming that the answer is almost written in bold red letters and I can see nothing. Same thing happened with WSJCC, until it all of a sudden dawned on me. Hope this is the same.
NUDGES!I am always willing to give nudges where needed; metas should be about fun, not frustration. Send me what you have done so far because often you are closer than you think!

I finished the grid and sent in the wrong answer, assuming I wouldn't have time to spend on it this weekend (I don't.)
I then had a bite of lunch, returned to the 'puter, where the puzzle was still on my screen, and saw it immediately.
So... I sent an email hoping I can repeal and replace my first answer.
Therefore, I guess I'm in Schroedinger space. I have or I have not solved it.

I think I was working on it as if it was a level 2 or 3. And then, there it was. Done!

Well DUH! Like I said I was over-complicating it and looking for difficulty where it was not. So, two down, now I'll wait for Wills Weekly tomorrow and a Muggle Monday. Granted my submission has not been confirmed but I'd say from the title and hint to the answer I'm over 99%.

I think he accurately plans week 2s too. The other 2.5, maybe not.

Figured it out after stepping away for a long weekend. Easy Peasy. Just never heard of the player so it wasn’t jumping out at me.

As a counter-argument, may I remind everyone of March, 2019

I think the lesson for all our muggle constructors is that pegging the difficulty is harder than you'd think.
