Beauty!
I got it, but only with a couple of nudges, so I didn’t enter for the prize.
I’m thinking that Mikey is quickly qualifying for the title of Evil Genius — and I mean that in a good way!

Mikey's Monday nudges got me home in short order. An intricate and devious puzzle from Mr. G.
Very impressive.

Finally got it with the nudges and a little assist from a previous solver. Very clever! Thanks Mikey.

I got the thing that the nudges want me to find. I've tried a few things with them, but still searching. And ever hopeful.
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.

Nudged to the finish earlier this morning. I thought of the answer as I was drifting off to sleep but couldn't quite justify it, woke up and saw the piece I'd missed. Thanks, Mikey!

I had all the pieces. Needed a nudge to finish. Then saw the answer in my notes. I had an order problem!

Wow, excellent meta! Didn’t need the nudges, just some time to focus on it.
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.)

I had the same issue, it was in my notes but I didn't see it for what it was. A nudge from a kind solver got me to focus on it again. This puzzle was very clever, and I like how it all came together!

PS: If you want help with a meta, PM what you have so I can help without spoiling too much. I've received lots of help in the beginning and I love to pay it forward!

Needed only Hint 1 to redirect me from my initial path, and got to the answer from there, but sloooooooowly. Had the final answer since Monday morning but didn't realize it until a head-slap moment this afternoon... yowza! Stupid Mikey and his Stupid 5-point Demerits For Incorrect Guesses. Cost me a lot of time past the finish line
But Mikey! You're on a roll with some really terrific metas lately. Will be sad to see the Summer of Solves come to a close.

If you know your days of the week! (Sometimes, I'm in a days; it makes we week.)
Sorry about that; it would've been two yesterday and two more today, so we'll give the four in all.

Wish me luck that I remember to post a couple more tomorrow, haha.

Um -- Kinda had all that ^^^^^ from yesterday.
But I'll be patient and wait for tomorrow's delivery.

Was poked to the POAK. I had all of it except the last step and I had most of that but did not realize it until @lbray53 gave me the aforementioned poke. Great puzzle Mikey, but then you are probably tired of hearing that!
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!

There's brilliance behind the madness! Sometimes you just don't recognize all of it until after the solve! :twisted:
Way to go, @MikeyG!

Had most of it from the start. But then I got stumped by the last step. Had a helpful nudge! Thanks, Mikey!

After what seems like five days later, I finally have it. Apparently I was staring right at it for a couple of days but I had my contacts in the wrong eyes.

Pushed the answer. That was tough. I would never have seen the first step without the nudges.
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!
