Don’t think there is one yet. But maybe if we suggest it, @Alex Boisvert will add it.
If you want help with a meta, feel free to PM me. The more specific you are about what you have and what you want, the more likely I can help without spoiling.
(And if I help you win a mug, I’ll be especially delighted.)

It takes remarkable discipline to throw something perhaps a bit too subtle into the ether, and refrain from comment when no one notices.
I lack that discipline

We had the same issues too!HunterX wrote: ↑Tue Mar 29, 2022 2:25 pm I got tripped up multiple times with using E for Em and En dashes, H for hyphens, and just E for Exclamation (instead of EP). Took too long to use just D for Dash. So for awhile I had MAKE TIME because of a substitution on one of the grid answers due to the Em-dash. But I was bothered by the lack of order in the letters of M A K and E. Figured out that issue right at the end.

Ditto here...

EA vs EPA did work for me... EA Sports is kind of part of MLB with their partnerships in video games, so A in ALEAST gave me the A that AMTRAK also provided

but how sad is it that I needed a nudge to interpret
