Got it! I think! More doable than the past few weeks IMO, and a really interesting grid.

Indeed interesting to see a grid of these dimensions. Hey, it works just fine for this puzzle. I've checked my answer against the helpful list above (thanks, hashbrown), and I'll soon submit.

I really liked this one.

I am not sure I would have gotten this without "the list". That really made the click for me. I had a couple of other answers that seemed to work, but they were not on the list.

Sometimes Mr. G is too comprehensive. You can find almost anything you want if you are willing to consider the obscure, and in one case here, x-rated!

Got it. Finally and with a nudge.

Not sure what you mean here but for the record I'm Mr. W.

I was referring to "Google". Something rather blue popped up in one of my information searches. I could not explain further without risking a spoiler.

Enjoyed the grid & meta.

So many puzzles this week. I think I'm down to "Just Desserts."

Didn't get this one immediately, and decided to give it another shot since he hasn't sent one out in a while. Anyway, got it. Tough grid for me. I'm definitely missing PGWs puzzles!

Nice reference to the "other metas" on our forum (including a link here) from PGW on the writeup of his last -- sorry, "latest" -- puzzle.

Yes, I hope PGWCC returns. I like that many of the puzzles seem ... experimental. Like Peter G. is eager to try new meta things.

Just popping back into this dusty corner of the forum to say that, even with more metas than ever to fill my time, I still miss your puzzles, PGW! I hope you are well :-)
