It doesn’t look like every puzzle will be a meta but this one is and was a lot of fun.

Edit: Confirmed solved
I can be found in Sheridan, NY, veejaying. (8)

Yes, highly recommended. Hopefully, Jeffrey will have a higher meta percentage than Peter does with Fireball.

Is this how addictions start? (hah! who am I kidding... "start"?)

I like this one a LOT. Thanks to all who recommended - I hope you will be getting your commissions ;)

Fun puzzle! [EDIT1] Confirmed!

Does anyone know if this is weekly, monthly, or other? [EDIT1] From JanglerNPL: "There will be one main puzzle (alternating between metas and variety cryptics), and at least one bonus puzzle (usually a non-meta crossword) per month."

Solution confirmed, but not before finding an alternate solution first! Keep a look out for the answer .pdf (or send me a PM) to find out:)

Filling the grid was a nice puzzle in and of itself. I had the meta method figured out early BUT wrote down a wrong letter in my notes and made several attempts using other techniques. Thanks to ChrisKochmanski for saving me from continued folly! As I told Chris, as a former math teacher, I should have known to check my work!

I am looking forward to more puzzles from Jeffrey. If the grid fills are as entertaining as this one was they don't even have to be metas.
