Thanks, Chris. And yes, many are making the same miscue.

But I bet no-one did my SECOND misentry.

CCCompleted.... (what?)

EDIT: Did it without nudges but in response to Nudge 4-- "Ooh, That's what you were doing!

Very nice, as usual. Thanks, Cap'n!

Needed the nudges. My brain has not recovered from MGWCC debacle.

Clever meta well executed as always. Thanks Cap!

Sssolved sssans nudges.

Sssolved without nudges, but maybe with a bit of a backsssolve.
Got around the sandtrap almost without noticing it.

Late to it but a fun sssolve, thanks Cap’n!

@DrTom, I thought of you the moment I put 60A in the grid. I knew you'd come up with a clever comment, and in this case, the perfect cartoon.
