OUt of the box.

Fun one Mark, but will say 10D hits a bit to close to home for comfort.

Will there be nudges handed out in a day or 2? I logically have the first part of a phrase but following that logic to the 2nd part returns gibberish...

Pandora nudges are normally by request only. You can reply to Will's email. (Or the usual - ask a fellow muggle:)
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.)

Welcome to the meta-verse.

Great puzzle, Mark!

Same. Not an "easy" grid for me, and the meta eludes me.

Solved. Never heard of this thing, but hey, a solve is a solve.
