Enjoyed it! I had to Google more to finish the grid than last week, though that was partly because I was impatient since I could see how the meta was going to work :-)

Very clever indeed! It took me awhile, but going down the right rabbit hole was fun!

I’ve been sitting on my answer since Tuesday because I think I’m missing something.

Ugh! I see something and I know it is related, but otherwise stuck.

I spent a fair amount of time in what I suspect is the same spot. Keep working it and you will get it.

Fun!

Tough grid, but after completing it with a bit of help from Mr. G., I caught on to the meta quickly.

Says @pgw on twitter:
New puzzle should be up when it's still Tuesday on the west coast, but later than usual ...
