#697 - "Further Diminishment"
TENTH MONTH, PUZZLE #2 (of 5)
Which entry in this grid is the hidden sixth theme entry?
For those thinking there was some sort of monthly meta-mega, Matt has posted:
The Tenth Month puzzles begin! Is this one of those connected suites of crosswords, you may wonder, where you lay all the puzzles out at monthโs end and search for the big reveal?
It is not. The puzzles are meant to be enjoyed separately, with only time and the number 10 connecting them.

Beamed up at #16, one of my best. I'm amazed at those who get the meta faster than I can fill in the grid.

Beamed at the #70 spot. Had the right idea but had to take a couple minutes to shape it properly.
So since week 5 comes out on 10/29, do we get both Halloween achievements if we turn that one in on that day?

Submitted AT THE EXACT MOMENT he did an update. Not there yet, but don't see how I'm wrong. Looking forward to my shiny new 10 badge so I can be as cool as Wendy Walker.
Happy to give nudges. If you notice I've solved, please tell me about avenues you've explored so I can nudge you in the right direction and not off a cliff.

At first, I was like, "What in the world? There's nothing here at all." And then, "Oh, okay."
I liked this one. Well done and a great Week 2!

Smooth ride on the teleporter. (You go, Scottie!)
Number 50 on the leaderboard. Thatโs good for me. Iโm astounded at how fast some of you work.
BTW, will Shatner have a teleporter on that Amazon space ride? Or whatever the heck it is.

Very quick solve for me. I had more trouble with some of the text talk fills than the meta. As always though, great puzzle by Matt.

Now that I LIKED. Quick solve, 100% feeling fo assuredness. SHort lived of course, but I'm good for the week (well after a very tough slog on the MMM).
Beam me up please

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!

The grid was not a week 2, IMO, but thatโs OK. Nice week 2 meta.
