Wearing of the Green

Formerly known as the “Sunday Summer Substitute”, editor Cap'n Rick now takes the helm for 'Smooth Sailing Sundays'. As The Commodores sang about Sunday morning, the SSS will focus on easier metas. SSS will also support smaller grids and will mentor new constructors on request. Puzzles released each Sunday around 8am Eastern. Nudges released same day at Noon Eastern. New constructors are welcome.

I am sure I speak for all the constructors when I propose raising a glass of grog to our friend @Cap'n Rick! He is truly the one who keeps the SSS ship on course week after week.
Good luck, fellow Muggles!

Thank you for your kind words, @Wendy Walker. I would gladly share a ration of grog with you and the other excellent constructors anytime. Heck, you created as many SSS metas as I did this past year! Please keep 'em coming! :D

This was almost as much fun the second time as the first. I forgot I had seen this before and stepped through it one more time. Classic Cap'n...classically good.

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 second it! But I second it from wherever I'm at (ship, couch, I forget) - nothing yet, other than the pieces I need to cobble together somehow. I'll keep wearing my green and pondering!

Edit: I need to stop overthinking these. That is all. Thanks, @Cap'n Rick!

Forgot to post yesterday, but SSSolved NNNudglessly*! Thanks, Cap'n, for an inspiring year of puzzles, and here's to many, many more.

*I solved without nudges, but I always like to read them after the fact... in this case I entirely missed one cool detail. Very nice!
