New meta puzzle! Answers due Friday at noon EST.

I tried to provide more hints along the way for this one in hopes of a smoother solving experience.

FYI for Muggles: If you just want to know if you're right, or on the right track, you can PM me here, but if you want your answer to count for contest / leaderboard purposes, you need to submit it via the link on the blog post.

Just submitted. Hope I'm correct.

Note: There may be an error in the entry at 48D. Unless I'm missing something. Doesn't seem to affect the meta.

I'm 95% sure I have the first step, but I'm not getting anywhere from there. (Which probably means that I'm wrong about the first step...)

Edit: Post-enlightenment! I was, in fact, wrong about the first step, and was way overcomplicating it.

Submitted as well. Would have liked the last step to be a little more solid (assuming my answer is right).
