Nice to see Pandora back again!
I’m out of the box.
Clever puzzle, and as advertised pretty easy.

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.)

Sigh....
Very very easy to guess. But no idea what the meta is. Would appreciate if someone could explain it.

Funny story. I was all set to enter Par for the course for the CrossHare midi contest for April but I mistakenly thought midi meant 7x 7 and not 11 x 11. Oops. Well.... Here's a complex but **small** meta on the subject of golf.

Great to have you back, Will.
I loved how the answer seemed to come floating out of the back of my mind while filling the grid. I could not quite make it out and then your clues brought it into focus for me. How appropriate.
DINO ME!

Nice one, Will. Looking forward to the coming season!
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!
