Off the couch. The temptation to put a spoiler or two in here was hard to resist.

Off the couch. Very enjoyable puzzle and clever concept. Thank you both!

Very funny post @whimsy (No. 21)! At first we thought you were telling us where you were spending Thanksgiving, and as former Iowans our curiosity was piqued. Then we got it.☺

Off the Couch! Very fun. I had myself confused for a bit until I went back to the correct appplication of the mechanism.

I believe I am off the couch!
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! :shock:

I once competed in a ricotta, but I found the whole experience to be too cheesy.

Yay! Off the couch! Figuring out the mechanism was as much fun as the solve. WSJ quality.

Having afternoon Thanksgiving dinner with good friends.
Hope I don’t go “cold turkey” in front of them thinking about the WSJ meta.
A happy and enjoyable Thanksgiving to all.

I think I can speak for Rick when I say that we are thrilled with the turnout and the very kind remarks. "WSJ quality"-- I mean, WHAT! WOW!!! Thanks, JeanneC.

And here are a few nudges!

You haven't solved as of the present moment? No tears! Rick and I will not desert you. (Yes, what you just read is indeed a nudge!)

Our working title for this puzzle was "Project Overlook."
Good luck, fellow Muggles!

Oh man, I was hanging from the couch and needed a final nudge from Wendy. Was missing one letter and with that letter I plopped off the couch. Great puzzle you guys!
