We're onto a Level 3 this week to finish off the month! Thanks to @KayW and @whimsy for test-solving (and prevailing!) on such short notice!

81. Three by Three

The answer to the meta is where you might be when you solve it.

Deadline is Saturday, February 3 at 1 pm ET.

Good luck, and may all your solves be beautiful!

Same, haha. (If I can withstand the falls, "drop the Mike" will have to be a thing!).

PUN one as usual.

I was trying a more complicated mechanism that worked in four areas. I will keep it to myself in case I ever try to be a constructor. I could probably be convinced to give it up though.

Solved, after a couple of lazy guesses!
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:

We're already up to 28 solvers! Believe it or not, I was really worried that nobody would be on my wavelength for this one. It's playing more like a Level 2 or 2.5, but I'm fine with that!

Oh, right. I should get back to this...
Funny story. I was all set to enter Par for the course for the CrossHare midi contest for April but I mistakenly thought midi meant 7x 7 and not 11 x 11. Oops. Well.... Here's a complex but **small** meta on the subject of golf.

Oh, right, I have the PCC, the MMM, the MOAT, and the MEOW - and the WSJ is coming out later. What do you mean I have other responsibilities??
