See the SPECIAL SOLVING NOTE Matt added after the puzzle was released, which states that the 'not equal to' characters in PUZ clues appear as a question marks.Orsys wrote: ↑Sun Aug 29, 2021 10:56 amHe added the message on the Patreon site where you download the puzzle.

Submitted right after leaderboard updated. Should be on the board after next update.
Does Matt offer any "pauses" on streaks if I am out of town and away from access to the puzzle? I have a two week trip coming up where I may not have access for that middle weekend. I would hate to lose my streak due to inability to access the puzzle.

With more than a little pain and some encouragement and some gentle nudges, I am off the couch and submitted. Awaiting confirmation (or disappointment)

I did it! My first clean month in quite a while. I will confess that I maaaaayyy not fully understand the mechanism. But I got far enough that I was confident enough to submit. And then I was beamed aboard.
EDIT I just backsolved a little bit and find the meta even tighter than I did before. If you do it right it's a 100%-er!

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.

Beamed up. I didn't find this one all that easy - needed a nudge to confirm I was on the right path. Once I got the mechanism, it was fun to complete. Just glad to be on the leaderboard.

Finally beamed up. Wendy helped me get out of a deep, deep rabbit hole. I over complicated it.

Apparently, I'm overlooking something painfully obvious, so I'd super-appreciate a teensy nudge.

Unconfirmed but 100% sure I'm off the couch. I did not see a "Solo Solve" check box. My poor vision, or did it really disappear? Anyway, the nudge I got was more like a nod to keep going in the direction I was heading, so I feel almost like a soloist.

Had a lot of fun solving the meta, although I struggled with the grid. Really nice one!

Beamed up! I do not think I have the entire mechanism, but my answer is confirmed.

Thanks to nudges from a friendly muggle I believe I am beamed up! Had to do a bit of backsolving for one part.

Hi, I just joined even though I have been doing MGWCC since January 2013. I'm not getting anywhere this week, (I'm blaming it on being sick), so I thought this might be a good week to get my "Better Together" achievement since everyone is enjoying the puzzle. Could I have a nudge please?

Generic nudge requests:
In general, it is MUCH better to PM a particular person (many of us post that we will be glad to help!) for a nudge as opposed to putting a "may I have a nudge" on the forum. It is not unlike asking aloud for help from a crowd. When nobody responds the requestor may feel slighted, but in reality everyone thinks that someone else must have already helped. If you'd like a nudge, send what you have so far (it is easier to nudge you onto the right path if we know what path you are currently on) and wait for guidance. Some give specific nudges, some are more general but our intent is always to point you in the right direction as opposed to leading you to the answer. The AHA's are so darn much fun we don't want to ruin it.

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!

Thanks! I have received several friendly nudges. Right after I posted, I got on the right track but haven't made it to the end yet.
EDIT: Beamed up!
Thanks for the nudges.
