Fun puzzle - nice quick meta solve. Does she still hang out in these parts? I enjoyed her posts but haven't seen her around in awhile....

Yes, I'm still around! A little bit anyways - I stopped doing the WSJ weekly contest a while ago, and even before that I gave up on MGWCC because I never had time to do the puzzles and just ended up being annoyed. But I lurk on the MMMM forum sometimes!
Glad people are enjoying the meta!

Solved and submitted (and confirmed via Crosshare).
Overlooked the method last night, but fresh eyes today and AHA.
Great puzzle, impressive fill, and FUN!

Ah, finally got it! I had written that Step 2 off as a rabbit hole that didn’t pan out, but it was actually there after all. Tricky

Got to this one late. Very fun! I needed a slight nudge. I had momentarily considered the right path, but I got off it because (1) in one place, I was somehow not seeing something, and (2) elsewhere I entered something wrong. Grr!!
