[madhatter5]

Hi all and welcome to the seventy-third installment of the MEOW! (Released a bit early).

The answer to the meta is appropriately meta.

Seriously? A third one? I’m still stuck on #2.

Hmm.... apparently a joke I made thinking it'd be weird... turned out to be what was actually going on.

Still haven't solved any of these three but.... well, there's something interesting. Something like 3/2 of the steps out of 12 steps.....

[madhatter5]

Erratum: in 42D the blank is in the wrong place in the poem (not meta related). Thanks Claudia!

[ChrisKochmanski]

A catless bag!

Though awaiting confirmation.

This whole “Let’s Get Meta!” thing today has been fun.

[whimsy]

Well, I think I have something that goes well with this piece.

But work to be done still. Looking at you, Ginger!


Who else had this reaction this AM?

[madhatter5]

Ugh, more errata: I spelled financier wrong in one of the clues.

NOT meta related, I just have no edumacation

Oh... that threw me for a loop for a long time.

Wait there are 3 MEOWS this week??

There are three puzzles all called "Let's get meta" with the same prompt "The answer to the meta is appropriately meta".

I haven't solved any of these (they all seem to lack what I call a "trigger") but I made a joke about them. Turned out my joke was actually true.

[DrTom]

Solved one of the trio, finished all of the grids, but am still trying to figure out what a couple of answers mean. They don't seem to make sense in context so I am assuming they are part of the meta.

I can see this being a week I need NUDGES big time because, well because...

[Laura M]

Cat's out! These are great! I also got @benchen71's, but still stuck on @MikeyG's.

[boharr]

The cat, having been nudged, is free. Trifecta complete.

[Meg]

With some nudging I got #3. That was a fun triple escapade!

[rjy]

Seems we should have a meta-topic on the board to discuss this collection together. For myself, I have grids filled and one meta answered, but while noodling the remaining pieces let me pause to tip my cap to the exceptional and fun cluing in these puzzles. Lots of chuckles and groans along the way. Kudos!

[MarkWoychick]

I’m told I have one part of the solution, so I’m not sure where that leaves the cat - half in the bag? I’ve solved 1.5 of the 2 Let’s Get Meta puzzles I’ve tried so far - clever and fun challenges!

[Darth]

The cat cat cat is out of the bag bag bag...

[lbray53]

The cat is out of the bag but I needed help.

It all came together in the end. I think.

[markhr]

2.5 parts done, but still struggling on the solution to this one.
Interesting trifecta.
