Here's my quick status of woe:

MEOW: Zip
MOAT: Zip
Pandora's Blocks: Zip
Fill Me In: Zip
Pun of a Kind: Zip

I think maybe it's time to step back and do some of the old TV Guide puzzles: 12A "The Dinah Shore Sho__"

But odds are you will solve tomorrow's WSJ in under 10 minutes. So all is not lost.

TTFN, cat!

Which Jim Carrey character said, “I like it … a lot!”? Lloyd Christmas? Ace V.? It doesn’t matter. But that was my reaction to this puzzle. Good one, Josh!

Will nudges/spoilers be forthcoming? My cat is still quite firmly stuck in its bag. ☹️

Nudge Saturday!

A certain prominent grid entry has a different meaning if you parse it differently.

This alternate parsing gets at the same thing the title is trying to tell you

Doh! I had the wrong idea from the start. Solved with all nudges (not submitting) (lol at the last nudge). Very cool!
