This week's puzzle: Look to the Sky
Complexity Scale™ rating of 6 / 10.

A bit tougher! But hopefully fewer rabbit holes!

The answer to this week's meta is what the top right square in this grid represents.

(You may or may not need Google. This one's a toss-up).

Still waiting for confirmation. If I’m right, pretty cool!
Edit: finally got confirmation that my answer is correct. Clearly, Will has a busier social life than I do. Playing ultimate frisbee maybe? Who knows? I hope he’s outside enjoying friends!

Not obvious at first glance, but the first thing I tried worked!

I believe I have it! I don’t know if there’s a slam dunk confirmation I’m missing, but the way the prompt is worded and some to the other clues lead me to believe this is it.

Will add T-Rex status when confirmed.

Update: T-Rex 🦖, emotionally wounded by oldjudge’s comment of rejection, has left the building. But 🦕 is definitely here, relieved to be free of predator.

Agree this was a fun one, and unusual!

Awaiting confirmation. Hope I’m correct. If not, it was fun being wrong!

Well, I finished this one with @oldjudge having to practically drag me over the finish line. Won't submit my answer - but cute and clever mechanism (which I didn't grokk on my own sadly).

Grid filled, something interesting observed. No idea what to do with it, as usual.
