That was a fun little click! I've been in such a slump lately, so it's nice to get one.

Wow I'm so annoyed...It took me forever to figure this out, wondering what obvious thing I'm missing...Then I finally get it today and it's a song I absolutely HATE!!! LOL (I do hate this song, though. If I'm right, that is. I haven't submitted yet.)

You know that "thing" where you read the TITLE and PROMPT beFORE filling the grid and then you come-up with an answer justified by those two things but cannot immediately see how to arrive at that answer in through the grid?



ALL I can see is MY answer but not how to get from A (which I see IN the grid) to Z (which has been in my head almost since the beginning.) I am either SERIOUSLY over-thinking this, or missing something VERY obvious.


*edit*
I am throwing caution to the wind and submitting my answer.


*edit-edit*
ON THE BOARD!!!

If I got this one wrong, I will have TWO songs to hate.
The correct answer and the one I just submitted. (*grumble*)

Submitted. Waiting for leaderboard update (which seems to have a delay this afternoon)

Fortunately I love this song because it's definitely going to be in my head for the next month. I swear I JUST got it OUT of my head!

Dang. Grid done, and i see something that could lead me to three different songs. Only one has a thin tie-in with the title, so I'm not happy at all.

(I know, so which one of the seven dwarfs am I? Right now... Dopey)

When you see it, you will know.

You can call me Doc now. A song from the 70s popped into my head and I said to myself, "Of course!"

On the board. Was confounded for too long and got a nudge.

I fear I am way over-thinking this. I have what I could believe is a good answer but something doesn't quite fit. This is month 2 right? New constructor(s) messing up my vibe!

Update: Just pulled the trigger and on the board! Still didn't love it as much as I usually do but no matter what Muller is always fun.

Feeling the same way. Will continue to stare at this, but a nudge might be needed.

sigh. staring WAY too long at this. need a nudge.

edit: FINALLY, sheesh. and without a nudge! (despite how much I wanted one!)

I'm not sure everyone will. I did, but I've heard from some who knew the answer and had the reason exactly right in their notes but still didn't see it, so apparently there can be a bit of a blind spot around this one.

For those still working, remember that this is February, just a 1 point meta, so stick with what's obvious and resist the temptation to over-complicate it.

And speaking of MMMM, it looks like 15 people have already figured out the red herring!! Wow, count me impressed. I've got a spreadsheet, but nothing standing out yet.

Ok, I got it. I'm not totally sure if I have the right reason, but with the advice above helping me I'm thinking maybe I do. Looking forward to the write up on this.

I have completed the puzzle, but I can't figure out how to get a toe hold into the meta. I'd love a nudge if anyone is handing one out?

Grid completed, less Googling than usual. And I see...something. Not exactly sure what yet, but...something.

On the board. It took me a little while but finally got it.

If someone needs a nudge, PM me what rabbit holes you're looking into, and I'll try to gently steer you on, or away, as needed
