Well, not seeing it yet, but the puzzle is young!
NUDGES!I am always willing to give nudges IF ASKED; metas should be about fun, not frustration. PM me what you have done so far, because often you are closer than you think, and I will try to help you move along.

I test-solved this one last week but had absolutely NO IDEA that the constructor was the one and only @Clark E. Tripe! So honored!
Good luck, fellow Muggles!

(Yawn) The sun sure comes up early here in Linux Habitation. I think this is the part where I list everyone who got the right answer, correct?

@Clark E. Tripe, I’m still here on the couch since I sent the wrong answer to you yesterday. You’d indicated you would be happy to give me some help. So could you join me for some one-on-one help here now? ❤️

(Whew!) It sure gets warm early here in Linux Habitation! I just sent you a PM, Margie, but you look pretty comfortable on that couch.

@Clark E. Tripe told me he won’t be able to join me on the couch since he’s all buttoned up in Linux Habitation this morning.
Great meta guy! Don’t stop there- this new Muggle has legs!❤️

Amazing what a second look will dislodge in your brain.

Thanks, Clark! For one guy, you sure have tons of talent! The initiation fee was worth it!

With a bio like that, this has to be great!:)

Did the grid and saw a 15 letter phrase and an 8 letter phrase, but need to look again for the 7 letter word.
If you want help with a meta, feel free to PM me. The more specific you are about what you have and what you want, the more likely I can help without spoiling.

(And if I help you win a mug, I’ll be especially delighted.)

Huh. I was so busy celebrating my beard's 46th birthday yesterday that I forgot to note that today at 1:28 marked my 4th anniversary on this Forum!

I'm with BarbaraK: definitely in need of a nudge!
Check out "The MOAT Mini Pack of Marching Bands" here. US$5 gets you 7 Marching Bands which, hard enough on their own, now contain metas too. And once again there's a mega-meta! :D

I’m just really sad us Apple programmers aren’t allowed in Linux Habitation, but I do hope to meet Clark somewhere between there and Ukrainian Village, Chicago. Or perhaps a Nicaragua civil long hike.
If you like Rows Gardens check out my mini ones here: viewforum.php?f=41. Nudges are free on the off chance I’ve solved the meta.

I'll post a few "nudges" tomorrow, Mr. Chen71. I'm still trying to figure out how to make those button thingamabobs.

Remember to do the nudges backwards from Ben. He’s in a land entirely peopled by criminals where all the toilets flush backwards. It’s actually quite amazing how good his metas travel over here.

Off the couch after an off-hand comment on the muggles forum earlier tonight triggered the right synapse to complete the last step.

I may have forgotten to solve & submit MGWCC, this week, but I hope not to forget my 4th "birthday."
