#6 on the board. A bit meatier than a typical week 1.

Beamed!

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!

Beamed aboard!

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.

Beamed aboard at #20.

Fun puzzle!

Fun stuff indeed. #30.

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...

Not sure how specific to be in my submission… opted for simplicity. we shall see. i’ll declare myself beamed til proven otherwise.

Beamed.

I noticed the same thing. It’s wrong.

Beamed! Cute week one. Never saw two letter answers before!

Whew - got one early on. Beamed up.

Beamed up - - interesting construction

Got it. Nice and breezy one.

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).
