A good follow on to last week's "Marked Deck". Are Matt and Mike trying to tell us something?"
Good luck with the grid and the meta

Got it
Edit: the web app won't let me submit for some reason, though.
Edit2: I replaced all letters with the letter A and it then worked.

Done and dusted! Tricky, I think I was lucky I hit it on one of the first things I tried.
Very clever, amazing construction. Thank you, Mike!

I'm on shore, though I suspect Isaac may be busy this week.
On that subject, in the WSJ's Thursday crossword, the clue for 4D was 'Bartender on "The Love Boat"'.

Ashore!
Short has its benefits when it comes to the Tiki Bar Limbo Contest. (Cheating helps too.)
