#3: "Musical Numbers"

#1

Post by dannykbernstein »

I tried to gear this one (both the fill and the meta) on the easier/more striaght-forward side. The mechanism is very google-friendly for those who aren't the most well-versed in musicals!

That was fun. I never thought I was weak in musicals but I guess I am.
Funny story. I was all set to enter Par for the course for the CrossHare midi contest for April but I mistakenly thought midi meant 7x 7 and not 11 x 11. Oops. Well.... Here's a complex but **small** meta on the subject of golf.

Nice one, but it did involve some googling for me.
Check out "The MOAT MEOW Mashup Pack" here. US$10 for 14 metas that don't always abide by the "rules" of the game: asymmetry, 2-letter words, uncrossed letters, who knows. And this time there's a mega-meta! :shock:

Required some Googling, but a very clever meta. Thanks, Danny!

Fun when I found it. And I clearly do not know enough about musicals.

I only had to ask Danny for help two times before the fog cleared. He was very patient!
