Great execution; definitely not subpar!
The site is just a web page, a meeting place, a clubhouse - it's the group that's special.

I’m out of the box! Not my area of expertise, but I knew enough to know what to google.

Put the ball in the hole, opened the box, and freed the dino. Fun puzzle.

Dino me!
I know close to nothing about the subject matter.
The little I know was enough to get me through - though with google's help.
Fun puzzle!

I really enjoyed this one. Like others, I needed to google to confirm. (Is that, in a way, a sad commentary?)

Pretty easy this week. Still didn’t get my brain moving enough to locate that elusive creature in MGWCC.

As others have said, an accessible mechanism and a topic I don't follow closely but was able to research easily. 👍

Dino me 🦕—quick solve of another fun puzzle by Will, who has become one of my favorite constructors. 71A almost made me think this was one of Al’s puzzles.

Didn't see this one immediately, but all fit into place on second look. Dino does the happy dance. :)
