The answer to this puzzle is a seven-letter plural.
The puzzle has an easy version and a hard version, with the only difference being in the clues.

I started with the hard version, but after Matt's puzzle, my brain was stalling and I switched to the easier version. A quick solve with the easy clues. I'd feel more guilty if I didn't have the MMMM also sitting here waiting for me. Thanks for giving us the option to cruise this week, Peter!

Solved. I didn't bother with the hard version based on my performance record with the pgw lately. But the easy one was definitely easy.

Nicely constructed. I started with the hard version, but the easy version pointed me in the right direction.

Proud to say I solved the hard version. Confidence (mostly) restored.
The “I think we see what he did there” piece was the last to fall for me. I was trying to force something else until that one fell.
Still no clue on the MMMM though.
Good luck to all!

I solved the hard version too! I think my confidence still has a ways to go after the last few weeks, but that helped a bit...

This was my first attempt at PGWCC, and things fell into place rather quickly. After tangling with the week 5 MGWCC, and staring at the MMMM, this was a welcome respite.

I had to resort to the easy version, which fell in place quickly. Nice puzzle, but I hope a certain component of it will take a vacation.

Tried the hard one first. No luck, so switched to the easy one and got it quickly. Yay for easy!

Fair enough. I constructed this one a long time ago, and it honestly never occurred to me - either when I made it, or even now after the experience of week 10 - that its use of the expression that everyone uses to mean "that word that no one should say" would be upsetting. I certainly didn't include it here as an intentional callback to #10. At any rate, I think I can commit to never putting any variant on that particular expression in a future puzzle.
