I'm just not getting anywhere with this one...a couple hunches, but nothing productive. I'd appreciate a gentle nudge or a confirmation that I'm looking in the right places!

Beam me up.
I had this one early, but didn’t know it. A couple of typos and a blind spot hid the answer for two days.

Not anymore! You’re a week 4 solver now. Must be part of the brain trust.

After a kindly nudge from a kindly muggle, I've joined the landing party and have requested to be beamed up. Haven't heard from Scotty yet, but this is definitely a 100%-er.
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.

Beam up me! Cool puzzle. This is a great attainable meta for an intermediate solver like me - challenging and entertaining.

Just noticed this shoutout from Matt to the forum and our own Joe Ross
The site is just a web page, a meeting place, a clubhouse - it's the group that's special.

I have the first step, but I’m having no success going futher. Plenty of ideas, but none pan out. Any nudge would be appreciated.

Thanks to the muggles who turned me around and got me on the right track. I’ve been beamed up.
This was an amazing puzzle! What a genius Matt is.

OK Uncle. Towel thrown in. Brief streak over. I am in awe of those of you who get these week in week out. 100??? I’d be ecstatic to get to 5...
Anyone willing to nudge please let me know. Thanks in advance.

Beamed up with the assistance of some helpful Muggles. Thank you all!

Thanks to the efforts of an extremely patient and helpful Muggle I managed to find my way out of the wilderness and beamed aboard. Would definitely have kicked myself if I hadn't gotten it (but never would have without the help!).

I forgot we had an extra day... guess I’ll stare at it a little longer. Totally baffled. I see a lot of weird things that seem to be shouting, but no idea what they mean.
I’ll take a gentle nudge .. I can tell you what I see and you could help me focus?
do you nudge-ees still submit an answer to Gaffney or is that verboten?
EDIT:
HANG ON I GOT IT !
POSSIBLE SPOILER BELOW BUT NOT REALLY...
————————
Went back to it one more time after the muggles zoom but before opening my mailbox here. All the muggles said was “look at every clue and word” — (???) — yeah I feel like I could recite them all, been poring over this so long. And someone said something about Scrabble, but that didn’t give me anything.
However, I pursued one of my earliest observations because it was just so dad gum peculiar... and that led me to try something this way and that way, et voila.
Holy moly indeed.
Won’t open nudge mail until after deadline, or til I see my name listed. But I am 100%, and agree that was satisfying. I think it could have been one step harder (explain later) but this was def a week 4.

Thanks to a kind muggle for the nudge. Agree outrageously clever. Matt=genius.
Stay well all

This was my first nudge experience, but I figured that since Matt has an option to point out that it's not a solo solve, and since some people solve them together regularly (or at least that's my impression), that it was ok to submit.HeadinHome wrote: ↑Tue Jan 26, 2021 7:43 pm I forgot we had an extra day... guess I’ll stare at it a little longer.
