After getting step one yesterday, found step two today. Bit of a slog, in my opinion. But I still enjoy Will's efforts!

Took me awhile. LOVED the unique second step. I had to overcome my expectations to let it work out.

WOW Will! Like lbray53 I almost didn't do the right thing because I thought "no way", but just like in Wayne's World, in Will's World it is WAY!
Very unique in all aspects.
I freaked out at first because what I entered came back INCORRECT and I said - HUH? Apparently I need spell check on every aspect of my typing because that was the problem.
Liked it a bunch, if I want to make better puzzles I guess I'm going to have to....

NUDGES!I am always willing to give nudges where needed; metas should be about fun, not frustration. Send me what you have done so far because often you are closer than you think!

Well, monkeys are flying out of my butt.
And like you, after all that I got an incorrect view a typo as well.
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.

Out of the box! Great construction, Will! We needed to use pen and paper for the very last bit, but it was all very logical and intricate - lots of fun!

I have submitted a correct answer on Crosshare, though I hesitate to say I solved. I came to the answer with assists on both parts one and two. I can say that I solved the grid without check/reveal, so there’s that!

Solved--very clever. Step one came pretty quickly and then I get stuck (theme of my meta life lately). Then I thought of a possible next step but thought "no way". Well--"way!".

I’ll admit it - I’m mystified….Will there be any nudges coming Will?

I got step 1, and what I think is step 2. But I am stuck at this point.

I'm with MamaE... stumped right now on step 1. Some obvious places to look first, but not sure what to do with them.

One thing about this one is you pretty much have to know how to solve it before you start.
So... before you think about the meta just think about.... language....
