24. I'm Game!

1. Puzzle #23 recap

Puzzle #23 answer: BACK TO BED

Correct entries: 43 (tied for all-time!)

Image

I like my cryptic indicators sometimes, and the "west" indicates going backwards. There are five instances of the seemingly random string DEBOT, which is a reversal of TO BED (that is, "TO BED" going backwards). Thus, for this vacation, I'm going BACK TO BED.

Everyone who gets it gets one shiny point! If you get this on the second try, you get 99% of a shiny point, just to break any ties at the end, haha.

2. It is hard for me to make an easy puzzle - and this one probably isn't any easier, haha, but I did my best. The meta, however, is about as Level 1 as it gets, I would think.

24. I'm Game!

The answer to the meta is a television show.

Good luck, and may all your solves be beautiful!

Had an idea pretty quick, but solved the grid and confirmed prior to submission.

I really like Mikey's Metas

Solved. Nice one!
Check out "The MOAT MEOW Mashup Pack" here. US$10 for 14 metas that don't always abide by the "rules" of the game: asymmetry, 2-letter words, uncrossed letters, who knows. And this time there's a mega-meta! :shock:

After being prompted by Mikey on the MGWCC board, I came to solve. Loved it. Your cluing is so silly!
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.
