Available by emailing a request to PandorasBlocksWMC[at]gmail[dot]com, these meta puzzles are distributed by email every Sunday. Pandora's Blocks crosswords are intended to spread the popularity of meta crosswords, however, they are not just for beginners and run the gamut it terms of difficulty.

Puzzle #95: Fill-Ins Difficulty: Medium to Challenging The answer to this week's meta is a five-letter plural noun. Please note: I am attaching the normal PUZ and PDF files, but I strongly urge you to solve this week's puzzle on Crosshare. The deadline for this puzzle is 9:00am eastern time on Sunday, February 11, 2024.
Dino me! Great meta and mechanism, thanks Will! Take note of the final bullet point all, and solve on Crosshare if you can.

Excellent Pandora, and a nice shoutout to the Will/Emma Fireball from last year.
The site is just a web page, a meeting place, a clubhouse - it's the group that's special.

Dino me!
This is such a nice, clean, crisp meta that I may save it for when I’m occasionally asked to explain meta crosswords to the terribly sad non-Muggles of the world I always do my best to avoid.

Abandoned one rabbit hole, then revisited some strange stuff I had noticed when completing the grid. Thanks, Will!
Fantastic puzzle!
