Have a toehold, but now off to a ballgame downtown. Our AAA experience is fun and affordable here in Indy. Will finish up the puzzle in the morning over coffee since the WSJ is knocked out.

I assume that the solution is easy once you've figured out how to decode the clues. Unfortunately, I haven't.

Confirmed and out of the bag that was in the box (with the help of a nudge that got me out of my own way). Thanks Madhatter!

I actually had a surprisingly hard time getting from the completed grid to the meta solution. Not a difficult task per se, but knowing what to do wasn't the end of it. I still had to do it.Bird Lives wrote: ↑Fri Aug 27, 2021 9:24 am I assume that the solution is easy once you've figured out how to decode the clues. Unfortunately, I haven't.

So, gosh, is it my turn to be the one giving nudges?
Funny story. I was all set to enter Par for the course for the CrossHare midi contest for April but I mistakenly thought midi meant 7x 7 and not 11 x 11. Oops. Well.... Here's a complex but **small** meta on the subject of golf.

The grid had me stumped for quite a while. I may never have figured it out without a friendly muggle nudge. But once I got started it was fun to do. Very clever puzzle. Thanks, Josh!

This looks interesting, but I have no idea what to do to start. Does having solved some previous MEOW puzzles help?

^ Hmm -- not sure how to advise on this except to say that each successive MEOW is just that much -- um -- wackier, intriguing, off-beat, etc. etc. than the one before! Nudges coming out tomorrow, I believe.

Well, even before the nudges were posted, I had tried all of them. Realizing the grid part came yesterday and I was able to get it filled in. Once you get started, it goes fairly quickly.
And I knew what to do with what I had next.
And I tried what was in the third nudge.
And I'm still
Being spatially challenged is a definite disadvantage for this one!
(You know with a jigsaw puzzle, you can usually figure out the edges and the corners...sigh) Back to it!

Cat is out of the bag and scratching the hell out of my couch. Not even kidding.
Happy to give nudges. If you notice I've solved, please tell me about avenues you've explored so I can nudge you in the right direction and not off a cliff.

Well, I’m still stuck. Pre-nudges, I figured out how to fill in the grid. But now what?

I needed the nudges to complete the grid, but the cat eventually got out.

Hope when this is over someone posts a picture cuz even with the nudges I don’t have a single square filled in. ??

Glad I'm not the only one. After the nudges, I thought I saw what to do but couldn't make it work. After a bunch of erasures I am back to a blank grid.
