"Top of the Morning" - July 24, 2022

#1

Post by hashbrown »

From Will's email

This week's puzzle: Top of the Morning
Difficulty: Medium

The answer to this week's meta is something that could be said instead of "Top of the morning!"
(Correction from last week: I've been informed that Edge is actually Microsoft's newer web browser and the one they got rid of was Internet Explorer. In any event, you won't need any web browsers or search engines this week. )

Crosshare link: https://crosshare.org/crosswords/YzqNMV ... he-morning

This is puzzle #4 out of 5 for the July mug drawing. Answer submissions are due by 9am eastern time on Thursday (the 28th).

I’m out of the box. A nice smooth solve. Thanks, Will
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.)

DINO ME!

I glanced over the intro paragraph and thought it said that this was a 4 out of 5 difficulty level. I was feeling quite special for a few minutes until I read that again.

Dino me!
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:
