I haven't spent any time on the meta yet, but that "beamage" looks delish!

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.

Beamed up at #211. I had to clean up a lot of errors and do some backsolving before I got it.

Whew, in at 176. I was pretty sure but it could have gone any of several ways; glad it was this way!
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!

Beamed after receiving some assurance that I had it right. Turns out I had a mistake in the grid that was preventing me from seeing how one of the letters counted (even though I knew it had to).

I solved before revised instructions. Some things still aren't entirely clear to me, but I thought it was 100% after I quit trying to make it more difficult. Beamed up!

Yes. I went from #35 to #41. Still happy with that number for week 4!

After comparing notes with another muggle, I found my mistake. This one is solidly 100%.

Found that one pretty hard… not conceptually, but in the details. Submitted and awaiting beamage. Got a little encouraging affirmation from a solver, but since it didn’t amount to nudging I’ll call this a solo.
The other Wendy.

On the board! I had the answer last night, but had some doubts, and didn't submit. The doubts never resolved, but what I had was too perfect to be incorrect. It's always fun to get a solo solve!

Well I submitted after many nudges from Al. Don't know if I'm right but l took the plunge.

I have been beamed aboard. Like others, I'm glad we got the extra clarification about 15 letters before I submitted, although I had what I thought must have been the answer before that. I'll be interested in the discussion on this one.

Beamed, after being reintegrated from the ether by the grace of Matt's generosity.

Needed some nudges, and a spreadsheet. The rabbit holes I went down were far too twisty to be correct, but might be turned into puzzles.

Happily beamed up the other day at #221...after some of the same uncertainty about my submission.

Finally got around to it Sunday night and beamed up last night.
Now onto something my boss likes to call work, as in get your work done.

Not sure I’d have made it without the clarification. But I’m sure to be beamed aboard!

Doesn't 61D fit the prompt as as well? It seems like "sun" would be the correct language answer instead of "sol". What were early answers that were deemed incorrect? Also, isn't the meta answer more of a traffic violation than an automotive term?
