"Thorough Enough" - September 24, 2021

#1

Post by Bob cruise director »

This week's meta contest is titled "Thorough Enough" by Matt Gaffney

The answer to this week's met is an eight letter word describing a good contest crossword solver's thinking.

For those who missed last week's talk/Q&A by Peter Muller and Matt Gaffney, here is the YouTube video link.



It is a great look into the thinking and creativity of two of the best meta constructors in the country.

And not to be too much of a shill for Pete but he has a band called The Kindred Souls that is on tour https://www.petemuller.com/ around the country.

He will be hitting a lot of muggle towns between now and the beginning of October. The schedule is here https://www.petemuller.com/shows

Agreed with all of the above. Very clever - and nicely meatier than the last few. I'm in good company here with Al and Les, among others.

On shore! And did it on my phone, as a downed tree has knocked out our power.
