XWord Muggles Forum

Dino me! Fun Pandora, which just makes it harder to think we have to say “Au revoir” (not Adieu mind you!) to Will’s Sunday dinners.

Dino me, after a nudge got me out of an inviting rabbit hole.

Finally Dino-me! Ugh, really need to remember to go back to pencil and paper when all else fails!!

Dino me (finally). Needed several nudges from a very patient muggle to finally see it.

Dino me!

I was grousing to myself about solvers who take a break from the puzzle, come back to it and exclaim, “There it is!”

So I took a break from the puzzle and … AHA!

So glad I became back to it. Thanks, Will!

Dang, I'm not seeing it. BRB... I'm going for a walk.

Welp! I'll try that too.

And ...grouse mutter grumble.... jerks....

(I think I've had more success with staring and saying "I'm going to see something in the next five minute if it kills me" (It was successful once) than I've had with taking a break and coming back.

....

EDIT: Ah, there it is. Kind of amazing I missed it all along. I don't think this is either coming back are forcing it. But it's more "run it through my mind, again and again, and oh, it could mean something... oh, it has to mean something".

Really glad I stuck to it. And glad I didn't ask for a nudge.

Dino me finally with the help of a nudge from a fellow muggle.

Still not seeing it, but plenty of time with MGWCC and WSJCC behind me.

Quick question though, in the instructions, what is meant by "As usual, no Google here"?

What I found most helpful was recalling that someone on this board had (more than) once said Everything is there for a reason.

I think it means you won't need to Google "Margaret Cho" or "Yma Sumac" or "Tony-winning musicals" to answer the meta.

Ohhhhh. Thanks!!!

Dino me. I kept coming back to my filled grid all week, trying different things...finally it clicked this morning! Thanks for another fun meta, Will!

Ditto! Exact same scenario… glad I resisted the nudges. Gonna miss you when you’re (…er, your puzzles’re) gone, Will, enjoying them!

sadly, two walks and a few days and still in a daze

After a friendly nudge, finally got this. Dino me!
