Post by Abide »

Hi MMMM Subscriber-

Here are the links to the May MMMM, the fifth contest puzzle of the year:

https://pmxwords.com/2023-puzzle-5-ive- ... sic-in-me/

For those of you who like to solve online, you can access the puzzle at https://pmxwords.com

Send in your answer to the meta before 11pm ET Sunday, May 7, at pmxwords.com.

Thanks and enjoy,

Pete

P.S. I co-authored a non-music meta puzzle with Mack Meller for Will Pfadenhauer's Crosswords for Cancer fundraiser. You can enjoy this and many other puzzles while supporting a great cause at CrosswordsForCancer.com!

Fun one! Loving these MMMMs, and they often help me get earworms stuck in my head all day.

On the board. As usual with the MMMM, the grid required a bit of research. Then, after an initial answer, there was a "Huh?" pause. The answer came shortly after. Fun!

Edit: Also, I learned something with 56A that I wish I hadn't.

Got it, but I needed some encouragement to persist after my first thought didn't work out.

At the bottom of the hole I found a great hallway lined with many doors, and a small table with a key on it. I grabbed the key and tried it in several doors until one of them opened! Now I find myself on the board! I hope it's not a chess board, because that's a different book...

On the board. Some research needed to complete the grid, as usual.

I am SO mad at myself! I submitted before checking the prompt. I blame my daughter for being here distracting me. Oh well.

On the board.

(No research to complete the grid, only after to look up 42A and 56A.)
