Couch-free. Though I admit, I got impatient and asked for a nudge. Busy this week and can’t spare the time to stare at puzzles for too long.

Thanks, Peter! Fun puzzle!

Got it when I was only halfway there, confirmed instantly at Crosshare. But now I can't find the other half.
Great idea plus some entertaining and original clues, e.g., 31A, 12D.

Took me several tries (went for WAY too easy at first, then way too hard) and finally, after a tiny mistake, OFF THE COUCH. Very nice one Peter! Some amusing and interesting cluing, as per usual.

When a puzzle makes you laugh, it's done its job - at least in my book! Great fun!

Ditto on all points. We got it with a nudge from a muggle friend. The grid was very clever but difficult for us and took us all day to complete. The solution was also a masterpiece, but challanging.

We are always happy to get to know other muggles and help in any way! PM's are always welcome. The next best thing to winning a mug is helping a fellow muggle win a mug!

Off the couch yesterday, but neglected to post. Great puzzle, Peter!
Check out "The MOAT MEOW Mashup Pack" here. US$10 for 14 metas that don't always abide by the "rules" of the game: asymmetry, 2-letter words, uncrossed letters, who knows. And this time there's a mega-meta! :shock:

We submitted a wrong answer. Maybe we took
@DrTom's first route?

And we are having fun with the grid and the many rabbit holes!
