Staple Singers - January 2023

The puzzles increase in difficulty each month, and at year end there is a 13th puzzle (the "Mega-Meta") that invokes each of the 12 monthly puzzles. Currently available at https://pmxwords.com/, as well as through the Washington Post website here: MMMM at WaPo

Joining MMMM, at least to start! Love the fact that it's all themed, and I've always appreciated when constructors let their other passions shine through. Nice, smooth start to the year!

Woo hoo! Congratulations!!
If you want help with a meta, feel free to PM me. The more specific you are about what you have and what you want, the more likely I can help without spoiling.

(And if I help you win a mug, I’ll be especially delighted.)

Thanks Barbara! The growing popularity of the MMMM and the fact it is monthly instead of weekly makes the mug a really tough win.Hopefully, another muggle will get lucky next month.
