MGWCC #814 — “You’ve Got to Stand for Something”
STREAKS AND VERIFICATIONS FROM LAST WEEK:
OK, I *think* we’ve gotten everyone’s streaks fixed from the chaotic past few weeks. If your streak still hasn’t been made whole, please email me at crosswordcontest@gmail.com with STREAK in the subject line and we’ll take care of it. Apologies again for the hassle lately; I know it’s annoying, but it should be over now and shouldn’t ever happen again.
THIS WEEK’S INSTRUCTIONS:
No instructions given here since there are no-instructions solving options.
Solve well, and be not led astray by words intended to deceive.

Man alive, I still went down a couple of rabbit holes. I'll contend Week 1.5, haha.
But beamed up at #20. Score!
Here's to a great start to your new year!

That took a second longer than it should have! Also, had to look up something.
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 aboard. And fulfilled Matt’s wish.

Finally beamed. Fun puzzle but seemed a bit tougher than a normal week 1.

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!

Agree. If this is considered a "week 1," then we are in real trouble for what is coming the rest of the month!Jeremy Smith wrote: ↑Fri Jan 05, 2024 4:57 pm Fun puzzle but seemed a bit tougher than a normal week 1.

I guess I should change my signature, and start promoting this meta: Hungry Little Creature. I was going to sent it to people for testing but I dropped the ball on it.
