Get Your Sea Legs

Post by Cap'n Rick »

Ahoy, Muggles!

If you're looking for another meta puzzle to solve, I just submitted an entry to Crosshare's Midi Contest for February. The theme (provided by yours truly :D ) is "The Sea". I've already posted Hints on Crosshare, but I don't think you'll need them. I'd like to thank @BarbaraK for help with pretesting an earlier version and for providing great feedback.

The meta answer is a feeling.

Good luck!

I'll be posting mine on Friday! :D
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:

Wow! Early version was great; this is perfect.
If you want help with a meta, feel free to PM me. The more specific you are about what you have and what you want, the more likely I can help without spoiling.

(And if I help you win a mug, I’ll be especially delighted.)

Um... what the Crosshare Midi Contest?
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.

Um... what the Crosshare Midi Contest?
Yes, @woozy. One of the Crosshare users (@quatrevingtneuf) has organized a monthly midi (11x11) contest on Discord. Each month the contest has a different theme, selected by the previous month's winner. This month's theme is "The Sea", and the submission deadline is 2/21/24. See link below for more info:

Crosshare monthly midi challenge

Please PM me if you'd like more info. (Note: The midi puzzle need not be a meta.)
