Fantastic stuff. One of my favorite ever solo solves, if not at the top of the list. Thanks!

This puzzle was so good it deserves a movement

DINO ME! This grid was so big I needed to keep coming back to it due to interruptions. Fun when I finally figured out what to do. Filling in the grid over several days, and between other metas, was a real disadvantage because I did not recall what I needed to recall. Something familiar finally floated into view and I was off!

Wow, with a bit of help from @lbray53 I managed to limp home. I can safely say that I had the first part but NEVER would have gotten to the next without that nudge. It never crossed my mind.

That monster had to be VERY difficult to build, Will must be using his programming skills again.

NUDGES!I am always willing to give nudges where needed; metas should be about fun, not frustration. Send me what you have done so far because often you are closer than you think!

Dino me! Super meta, Will! What great construction! Took my time filling in the grid over a couple of days...had an idea for the first step but let it simmer for a while...came back to it today, found the steps, and eventually...bingo!

Quite a tour de force there, Will. Definitely worth the effort to solve. But now that I'm out of the box astride on the back of a DINO, what next?
