Post by hashbrown »

From Will's email

This week's puzzle: From Start to Finish
Difficulty: Medium

The answer to this week's meta is the crossword constructor who inspired this puzzle.
(Depending on your familiarity with crossword constructors, you might want to Google your answer submission. But no one should need Google to get to the answer.)

Great puzzle! Will, here's hoping you'll be on the Zoom call on Tuesday -- eager to hear about the race!
Good luck, fellow Muggles!

(Depending on your familiarity with crossword constructors, you might want to Google your answer submission.
On the other hand, you may know what the answer is going to be as soon as you start to see the mechanism.:)

I’m out of the box.
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.)

🦕 me. Funny how ideas sometimes come in pairs. For those who did the WaPo Sunday puzzle you will know what I mean. Great job by Will; a fun solve.

Haven't figured out where to start yet so, of course, I have not made it to the finish. Back to work.

The lightbulb FINALLY went on. Great meta and a nice tribute. I had an inkling early but did not follow through.
