Beamed up on one of these “cloud streets” today. That was a fun 12 letter find.

Beamed up for the first time, with the help of a step stool.

After various vacation delays, and somehow avoiding trying the obvious thing, I am finally beamed up. This was a very clever one that made me smile.

Hmm....

Funny after trying many ways to interpret things but all with the same idea I got nothing and then the next morning I tried one more way with the exact same idea and got the a very unambiguous answer.

This is cute but dang if it don't make me feel old.

Beamed up last night. Fun puzzle -- just what you expect from Matt.

Beamed up. I enjoy ones like this where I get the first step on Friday and get the rest later in the weekend.

I think this puzzle had to be a lot harder to construct than to solve.

Late to the party, but count me among the beamed-uppers.

Several wrong conclusions into the solution (there are a lot of 12 letter phrases) that were nixed by a muggle angel I saw the obvious path (only a part of which I had noticed earlier). Sometimes I am SO dumb, but even though away at relatives I am also beamed up. :D

OMG I’m guessing your friend was sued by either Ed McMahon or Barbara Streisand!!! :lol:

A couple of weeks ago, I dismissed the suggestion Matt-Mike conspiracy -- I think it was about levels of difficulty. But this week, I think there might be something to it.

Well, after trying to turn a week 2 into a week 5, I finally settled down and thought it must be more straightforward. And it was. I think Scottie needs more dilithium crystals to power up the teleporter since so many have used it in the last 30 hours . . .

Happy Early New Year, from the slowest solver this week. I missed four clues, so couldn’t put together a 12-letter activity, only an 8-letter nonsense word. Not confirmed, but I’m pretty sure it’s correct.

So who sued your friend’s cult and why?
