I had the right idea from the beginning, but the exact method required a bit of thought. Fun!

Dino Me. Fun puzzle, though it took a little playing around with 25A to get it right.

My first guess when I saw the title was that Will was hauling out the same theme he used in "Subpar." I quickly abandoned that idea and got what I know must be the answer. But my six letters have an "out of order" sign. I must be doing something wrong.

I think I know the mechanism but keep coming up with gibberish. Would someone be willing to give me a nudge?

Dino me! Confirmed by Crosshare for the first time, which is a nice option since I was pretty confident in my answer. I really enjoyed this one!

You did remember the numbers in parentheses, right?

Out of the box after a friendly Muggle told me I was on the right track, just needed a little tweaking.

@hcbirker helped me with the same tweak, and I am now "dino-ed". Another great PB offering from Will!

Well that was painful, I had about 75% of it but could not see the last "click". I have one small bone to pick but I do not know if that would have made a difference in my cloudy vision. Thanks to a Muggle who literally dragged me out of the box.

Gosh I hate it when I am so dense.
NUDGES!I am always willing to give nudges where needed; metas should be about fun, not frustration. Send me what you have done so far because often you are closer than you think!
