Awaiting beam after a late start due to travel. Fun one, and definitely in the week 1 sweet spot.

Beamed on board using all clues and instructions. I do think that it might be possible to solve with downs only and no instructions. Like @BarbaraK, I'd love to hear about how it was done.

Needed this and the wsj after going 0 for 2 last weekend.
I was planning on doing this puzzle (and wsj) on my drive from Denver to Chicago/Michigan this weekend. Since I have these done, does anyone have any favorites from the past? I started a year ago, so anything before that.

This is def a good downs only no instructions if you’re into that sort of thing.

Awaiting the transporter beam.
I, for one, am glad this one was so easy, as was (for me) the WSJ. Last thing I want to do while visiting my daughter’s is sit in my hotel working on the meta. (Not that I would…)

Cool puzzle, cool week one, but geeeeez! this was totally unsolvable downs-only, no-instructions… I love that Matt does this concept, and want him to continue because it’s a very cool challenge, but every so often (OK, to be fair this might only be the second time) the puzzles aren’t always published with that notion in mind. I can’t think of any way this one could have been solved in this manner. Please post if you got it - would love to hear what your toehold was.
