I *think* Iโm off the couch? How does one submit an answer to check?
Really clever uses of the mechanism! Enjoyed this one.

Everybody hits. Everybody scores. Here at Spring training, Monday Muggles by the dozens are stepping up to the plate and knocking this one out of the park, as I suspected they would. Hereโs the roster of players who showed up in the first 24 hours. (Asterisks are the people who posted to this board that they had solved it but either did not send me a PM or sent a PM that did not include the answer. But Iโm sure they got the answer.)
Spoilers Wednesday for those still needing batting practice.

No, Tina is strictly an indoor cat. The one in the trail cam photo is somebody's barn cat or a feral cat. She's a regular, and we call her Nita (for Not-Tina) because she really does look so much like Miss Tina.hcbirker wrote: โMon Mar 01, 2021 9:10 pmIs that your cat in the picture?Wendy Walker wrote: โMon Mar 01, 2021 4:27 pm Here's an image from the backyard party on Friday night:
Is that your cat out there? Raccoons can be nasty!
Good luck, fellow Muggles!

Thatโs why I was confused โ I was sure I had! Maybe never pushed the โsubmitโ button. (Does anyone else wish that button were named something else??) ( :
Anyway - just โsubmittedโ it.
Edit: yโknow.. maybe somethingโs up. I definitely hit โsubmitโ to send him my answer a few minutes ago, but neither my outbox folder or sent folder show it. Just disappeared. I see other โsentโ messages to others from the last few days, but not that one (or the one I KNOW I sent yesterday to him!). Odd.

I believe I am off, but I'm couching that in tentative terms!
Fun puzzle Jay!

EDIT: Confirmed I am uncouth, oops I meant uncouched. I was uncouth, but I had my couth repolished, I got a big bang out of that having been coopered up for so long. There I was, kind of a half stander before this board of puzzle creators, literally a wall of wits, and I said I'm going to the polisher, spend a penny and teller I don't want to run a fowler the law by having the bloom go off my couth. (sorry I ran out of superheros - except for Bird of course!)

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!

Iโm off the couch, thanks to pushes from Jay. What a masterfully coordinated puzzle!

This is not a Gaffney late-monther. Some people got the answer without fully solving the puzzle, others without finishing the grid, and one without even starting the grid. But if youโre still stuck, hereโs a nudge.
And another.

I am off the couch but I am still looking under the couch cushions to find a few of the niceties of the mechanism.

Got the answer quickly, but took a while to find all of the nuances and Easter eggs. Nice puzzle, Jay!

I got the meta solution earlier today, without looking at the nudges. I didn't get around to checking with Jay until a little while ago. He confirmed I'm OTC! Loved this puzzle!

Off the couch (confirmed). Like others I found a path to the meta but I'm still working on the full mechanism (thanks to a nudge from Bird Lives). Nice puzzle!

OTC - - finally got back into it today and enjoyed this meta. Finally figured out (after submitting my answer with an incomplete grid and an explanation as to the half of the meta I got that led me there) why I couldn't complete the fill. Very clever!
