@Joe Ross, could that coverlet be any more appropriate?!

[Qmark]

Fun one...thanks Wendy!

[Joe Ross]

@Joe Ross, could that coverlet be any more appropriate?!

No'm.

Video-solved this one, along with some other SSSs and MMMs that I'll send to the creators soon! If I said something about this, it would give it away, so to echo my typical salutation, may all your kelp be erratic!

[Wendy Walker]

Oh, yay, @MikeyG -- it's so much fun watching you solve!

Ooh! I hope one of those is mine! You are a master solver (and entertainer ), @MikeyG!

Edit: Yep! Thanks for solving and sharing, Mikey. Always entertaining!

So, any Wednesday nudges @Wendy Walker ? I'm not seeing it.

[minimuggle]

waiting for nudges as well ...

I should've known better than attempt an April Fool's puzzle from you clever Muggles, but I was dragged ashore and am amazed at the puzzle's brilliant construction (even if I didn't really get all the in-jokes). Well done, @Wendy Walker !

And here are the Wednesday nudges!

► Show Spoiler

Did you notice the duplicate clues? There are three sets of them.

► Show Spoiler

For the first set, who is a denizen of the "Daily Planet" newsroom who is even better known than Jimmy and Perry?

► Show Spoiler

The "other" answer to the second set is just one letter.

► Show Spoiler

The "other" answer to the third set is a synonym for nonsense.

► Show Spoiler

There are three symmetrically located towns in the grid, all with awkwardly worded clues that contain hidden surnames of Muggles who live there.

► Show Spoiler

The "Muggle" whose birthday we are celebrating is included in the solver list that I posted yesterday.

► Show Spoiler

The puzzle title is an anagram. As is, more than coincidentally, the name of the Muggle constructor we're looking for.

Took the first two nudges to vacate the couch. Not only fun, but funny as well. Thanks, Wendy!

[Berto]

Not sure why I didn’t persist with this, I had the stepping stones but couldn’t seem to find the path across. Needed the nudges.
Happy birthday to all my fellow April Fools!

[Joe Ross]

Is the creator also referred to as Baddest Dennie Sky, aka The Howly Trinity, maybe?

[minimuggle]

Fantastic puzzle. Definitely needed those nudges. Thanks Wendy

I will occasionally "hoard" some of the metas on this site (SSS, MMM, MOAT, MEOW) and then record a video of my trying to crack a bundle of them in a certain amount of time.
