MGWCC #754 - “Urban Planning”

#1

Post by Joe Ross »

MGWCC #754 — Friday, November 11th, 2022 — “Urban Planning”

THIS WEEK’S INSTRUCTIONS:

Instructions this week are only available on the standard PDF, .PUZ, and .JPZ files since there are no-instructions options available.

Solve well, and be not led astray by words intended to deceive.

Matt

PS -- Patreon issues today, and I can't be sure that all the proper attachments will be sent with this file. Hopefully they will be; if not, bear with me and I'll find a solution ASAP.

(FWIW: This poster received all PDF & PUZ files - including NO INSTRUCTIONS options - with the exception of JPZ files, via email at 1:22 PM ET.)


WANT TO SUBSCRIBE TO MY CROSSWORD CONTEST?:
MGWCC is available only to subscribers at my Patreon page.
A subscription costs $3/month.

#4 on the board - among the company of some very very fast solvers (of crosswords, not just metas). I will take it. Thanks to all veterans on the board for your service.

Number 37!

Interesting and clever. (And had to research some background I never knew and had no idea).

Awesomely satisfying to get (and the "easy" part wasn't obvious either!)
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.

Grid was WAY tougher than the meta!
Good luck, fellow Muggles!

Beam me up!
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:
