Ah, that hint on the last across would have helped. Fail on the downs only no instructions front for me.

You are not alone... a dwindling percentage of metas leave me with any ideas on how to solve them, much less the right ideas.... I just treat them more and more like happy bonuses tacked onto doing the grids...

Am I having some weird browser cache issue, or is there really no Crossword Fiend write-up of MGWCC this week?
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.)

Nope; it wasn't there until just now, a full day after the fact, and was written by the eventual Nobelist in meta crossword construction himself...
