On the board at #99. Had the egg-cellent badge already, so no biggie submitting early.

After an initial hiccup, the light bulb went on and I'm on the board at #48.

Didn't see it immediately, but upon a second glance it jumped right out. Ironically I had the idea earlier, but didn't apply it properly.
Check out this very cool project by many of your favorite muggles to raise money to fight cancer. You get a fun puzzle bundle and good causes get $. Win-win: Crosswords for Cancer

Solved. Guessed the answer before solving and was correct! That just never really happens.

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!

I submitted before checking this forum so I missed Al's words of wisdom and any shot at the badge. With the price of eggs these days, that was a big mistake.

Having all of the badges but "first to solve", I have submitted and am awaiting a leaderboard update. This one is a 100%er.

Way to go, Ricky!!
That's the only badge I don't have. (Only way I'm likely to get it is a lucky guess.)
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.)

Beamed. Already have the Easter Egg! I TOTALLY agree with the answer.
My avatar proves that it is sometimes better to be lucky than good!

Well shucky darn...I was feeling so smug about a #73 and then I read why I was probably that high with such a straightforward puzzle, and then I checked and saw that I did NOT have the Easter one from last year. Ah well.
NUDGES!I am always willing to give nudges where needed; metas should be about fun, not frustration. Send me what you have done so far because often you are closer than you think!

Too busy at work today to get to this, so I'm at #253 on the board. Got my "10" though! This was a fun one to discover.

On board with a 10 badge that I didn't know I deserved! Apparently he accepted COLD SANDWICH a couple weeks ago.
Happy to give nudges. If you notice I've solved, please tell me about avenues you've explored so I can nudge you in the right direction and not off a cliff.

I'll eat one of those! (an ICE CREAM SANDWICH, of course!)
I also had a dream last night about MGWCC, which isn't the first time. The answer to the puzzle involved a mechanism that really made no sense and I can barely remember it, which of course means I'll have to shoehorn it into a future meta.
Hope all of you are having a great weekend!
