A Step in the Right Direction
From MikeyG (last week's post, accidentally double booked by me )
Solvers of the world, unite! It's the alliterative Muggle Meta Monday time, posted by this guy at 12:01 am Monday, Eastern, since I have an early shift tomorrow (today?).
You know the drill by now: solve the puzzle, change the world.
The answer to the meta is a 5-letter word.
PUZ / PDF / Excel NOTE: FILES WERE UPDATED AT 9:20 AM ET
Winner gets...an autographed picture of yours truly (loser gets two). (Actually, it's an Amazon gift card - which is slightly more valuable, I guess).
I will be available to give out lovely, heartwarming cryptic assistance beginning on Wednesday; feel free to submit either by PM or through my e-mail at mrgraczyk at gmail dot com. Deadline is 10 pm Saturday, Eastern time.
Happy puzzling!
Mikey G

Mikey, you're hilarious! Your playfulness made me laugh out loud more times than I should admit ... but now I need to get serious on the meta. I thought I had it, but I'm a letter shy of your instruction. It's only Monday, though, so I'll soldier on with caffeine and determination. Thanks again for your light touch!

A puzzle in polar coordinates? The mind spins thinking of such.

Off the figurative couch. The literal one is still at Bautista's.
Good luck, fellow Muggles!
