Puzzle #95: Fill-Ins
  • Difficulty: Medium to Challenging
  • The answer to this week's meta is a five-letter plural noun.
  • No Google for this one.
  • Please note: I am attaching the normal PUZ and PDF files, but I strongly urge you to solve this week's puzzle on Crosshare.
The deadline for this puzzle is 9:00am eastern time on Sunday, February 11, 2024.

Dino me! Great meta and mechanism, thanks Will! Take note of the final bullet point all, and solve on Crosshare if you can.

Dino me!

This is such a nice, clean, crisp meta that I may save it for when Iā€™m occasionally asked to explain meta crosswords to the terribly sad non-Muggles of the world I always do my best to avoid. šŸ˜Š

Hi Everyone! I'm a pencil/paper solver and I don't see the PDF or PUZ links anywhere. Help?
