@oldjudge suggested "dino me!" as the "solved it!" metaphor for the Pandora's Blocks puzzles early on.

Well I finally figured it out! Thanks Will for quite the challenge (for this solver anyway).

Am I correct in thinking there are no regularly-planned nudges for Pandora like there are for MMM?

Will sent an email pointing his subscribers to the Universal Crossword for today, as he and @damefox are the constructors...

"Dino me!" is a "Really Mike" of "I'm done!"

I usually do individual nudges as needed instead of regularly-planned ones. Although this week @ReB has an excellent set of sequential nudges that I'm sure he'd be willing to share if you reach out to him!

Schmeel---Thanks for remembering. Will's first few puzzles involved anagrams. DINO ME is an anagram of I'M DONE.

Dino me! I found this a struggle, but with help from a fellow muggle, I finally got it.

Got it now thanks to a kindly nudge or three. I was in the ballpark, but not quite trying the right thing.

To emphasize the clarifying value of both the help received and the occasional beverage, I will note that BEERS UNDECIEVE anagrams to I'VE BEEN RESCUED

I was in the exact same boat. I suspected the answer long before I figured out the mechanism, but needed intense nudging to actually solve. Many thanks to my benefactor. Because I had to be dragged out of the box, I didn’t put my name in for the prize, but ajk, I’ll take one of your beers!

Dino me after I got some of those excellent sequential nudges!

Dino me! That took a number of iterations of pick it up/put it down. Print it. Repeat. But finally the light! Fun one and great aha moment!
