Well if you do then you must appreciate Crosshare. Nobody likes to wait to see if they are correct, and before we all started using Crosshare that is exactly what you had to do. You either PMed the constructor or waited for the reveal. There was no, “well gosh I must have the mechanism wrong, let me look again and retry”, nope you were just right or wrong. Crosshare has enriched our solving, and with metas now Sunday – Wednesday and every other Saturday that is at least 18 times a month you are using it. If it is worth $0.50 each time to you to be able to do that, please consider a $9 monthly donation to this independently run website and program. If it had to go away we would miss it immensely; a donation (monthly or not) of any amount helps support this valuable tool: https://crosshare.org/donate
NUDGES!I am always willing to give nudges where needed; metas should be about fun, not frustration. Send me what you have done so far because often you are closer than you think!

PS: If you want help with a meta, PM what you have so I can help without spoiling too much. I've received lots of help in the beginning and I love to pay it forward!

Cat's out, and enjoying the forest!
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!

Kay, my cat asked me.."how did she get a picture of me in a tree? I don't do trees, I do couches!!!"

Got the meta. But trying to figure out the magic eye image of your banner gave me a headache.

Not a meta, but, yeesh!, that was tough to create.
