I am a hybrid solver in sometimes I do a puzzle to get the meta (i.e., once I get the meta, I'm done) versus finding the meta and/or grokking what's going on but then enjoying the ride for the rest of it.

And this was the latter, since this was definitely one I wanted to complete. Pretty creative fun, from an initial, "What in the world is this?" to "Huhhh?" to "Ohhh, okay." Great start to December!

Beamed up. So glad to have a week 1.

Awaiting transporter beam. Glad it was a week one. I'm assuming the MMMM will drop soon. And I like a relaxing weekend.

MMMM is always the first Tuesday of the month.

I opted for specificity. But I can't imagine the simple answer wouldn't also suffice. Given you're on the board, it does.

And just where did you see two letter answers?

Right there with you, HunterX!

Beamed up, fun puzzle and clever construction

Beamed aboard! Fun one!

On the board. Fun one but some discussion may be had on Tuesday

Late start. Would have been top 30 if I had been home to start at noon instead of lower 200s.

Fun concept.

Okay... not a good week. 3 out of 6.... 4 out of 6 with Pun of a Kinds all *ten* nudges. But this and the WSJ were straightforward at least. But late start to both of them.

Geez....get stuck with work, don't get around to doing puzzle until 5pm....and Dang, realize last update at 4:07 and already at 228.....seems like there's a queue at the platform to get beamed up....

Beamed up at #251. Tricky grid, in my opinion.

My apologies, haha. (It did play more like Level 4).

Late to the party. #161! Nicely constructed.

Beamed up.

While I knew the answer before filling in grid all the way... definitely seemed (to me at least) harder than a week 1. Very fun and worth filling in the grid all the way.

Wut the fresh hell is this puzzle?

Week 1‽

I’m done. Just done.
