Can someone remind me again how to get a look at Matt's puzzle before it comes via email? As so often happens on a week one, a few names are already on the leaderboard before the puzzle has shown up in my inbox. Thanks!

Hi, Andrew - I go directly to Matt's Patreon site rather than waiting for the email. I think they are both "posted" at the same time, but his email processing is a bit slower.Andrew Bradburn wrote: ↑Fri Dec 02, 2022 12:26 pm Can someone remind me again how to get a look at Matt's puzzle before it comes via email?

Not that it affects my knowledge of the meta answer, but are other .PUZ solvers finding it's messed up on the bottom? Numbers and clues not matching up or mis-numbered boxes or sumpin'..... Cross-referencing it with the PDF makes me say "ok, this makes more sense now...."

On the board at exactly 100. I am wondering if the 29d clue is amiss - maybe more accomplished French speakers could advise...

Got it. Nice and breezy one.
If I’ve solved and you need a nudge, you can PM me. Happy to pay it forward.

Either I missed an update by less than a minute, or I somehow whiffed it, but I'm pretty sure I'm on deck to beam up. Fun one!
Agree about 29D, this may be the first time I've seen an actual mistake in one of Matt's puzzles! Not to mention two-letter words (although that was clearly a choice).
