"Do I Have To Spell It Out For You?"
Good morning Muggles!
This week’s meta is called “Do I Have to Spell it Out For You?” and I’m giving it a week 2.2 difficulty rating. Please submit your answer on Crosshare, or PM me your solution by 10 PM on Saturday, and as has become the custom, I’ll post a couple snapshots of a leaderboard during the week. Feel free to PM me for nudges, but try to stick with it for a couple days first. If nothing else, there’s always Nudge Wednesday.
One correct solver will be chosen at random and will receive an item of his/her choice from my swag bag (a Blarney Rebel Band CD, a Utica Club keepsake, or a $15 donation to a charity of your choice).

At six hours into the puzzle with no visible reports of success on the board, yeah, you may have to. It is Monday, after all!
I mean, at least I solved the grid!

Yep, seems I may have mis-rated the difficulty. Let's change it to a Week twopointtwo difficulty.

Wasn't that the original rating? But you did spell it out for us.

And in related news, I am changing next Monday's MMM difficulty rating from 3.0 to 0.5.

...definitely a hint...
The site is just a web page, a meeting place, a clubhouse - it's the group that's special.

I feel better about not getting this one, yet. Twelve hours and only 9 posts. It must not be just me. I just had to check in with these pictures.

I’m probably going to need someone to spell this out for me … not seeing anything yet.

Couch is vacated! Thanks for a cool puzzle, Al.

Check out "The MOAT MEOW Mashup Pack" here. US$10 for 14 metas that don't always abide by the "rules" of the game: asymmetry, 2-letter words, uncrossed letters, who knows. And this time there's a mega-meta!

Any puzzle with a Ginger Cat cameo is a good one in my book!
Well-constructed puzzle, thanks! Off the couch but back I go for a nap.

This is a blatant spoiler but since the answer was easily obtainable, I had to post this as a sop for those of us who are older and this we can remember
