The answer to the meta is an entry in the grid.

Nicely constructed and not all that easy to figure out!

I almost got it, but missed some key elements that would have confirmed an answer I erroneously rejected. Anyway, glad to learn some new words and places.

Got it! Wow, what a great puzzle. Had an answer I wasn’t sure about, then found the step I was missing that drove it home.

Well constructed meta (as usual). I really look forward to these puzzle every week.

Ok, I think I finally got this. Was stuck on one part that wasn't working quite as I expected, but I think I've got it. I learned a lot, too, as usual.

Good one!

I needed a slight hint, from a known solver, to get out of a nasty rabbit hole. With enough time, would I have eventually gotten to it my own? Maybe. But I grew impatient.

To others who may be stuck, I say: Keep going. This one is do-able. And a very satisfying aha.

Woo-hoo! Got it! Very thrilled, since I didn't have a clue on last week's. Also enjoyed uncovering all of the layers of this week's puzzle. Very satisfying.

Finally saw it. Took forever for the last piece to click. Put the puzzle down for a day, and saw it immediately upon picking it back up.

Fun one! It took a couple of revisits to figure out the last step but that was ok - I liked being able to savor it for a couple of days.

Agree with Al about looking forward to these each week. I sent Peter a note expressing the same.

Finally figured this out. Another great puzzle. The great thing about stretching out the solving process is I only have to wait four days for the next one.

Took me a while but I finally got it! I think this is one of my favorites so far (though it's hard to choose!).

Poured a bourbon. Pondered a bit. Then found the final piece I needed to solve. Elegant meta.
