Got it with help from discord. Very fun one but boy did I explore some deep rabbit holes .

If you can not get *this* one, there is a *really* good reason why.Laura M wrote: ↑Tue Feb 27, 2024 1:26 am I think have the meta version of The Yips (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yips). Can anybody recommend a good crossword therapist?
Anyway for various reasons it took me until now, but I think I'll beam up with the next update, phew.
Honestly I don't think this was unfair at all. The last across entry (often a significant one) contained a pointed hint which cross-referenced nicely with "cartoonist" in the prompt. Totally my fault for just skimming over it with "Oh yeah I read that one, it was cute." It was a *little* unfortunate that it was the first letters of the entries that were needed, instead of the letters right before the "album names" which I thought would make more sense, but that wasn't impossible to figure out.woozy wrote: ↑Tue Feb 27, 2024 11:58 amIf you can not get *this* one, there is a *really* good reason why.Laura M wrote: ↑Tue Feb 27, 2024 1:26 am I think have the meta version of The Yips (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yips).

For the record, I was never claiming it was unfair. I was merely claiming if you were staring and not seeing anything there was a very good reason (namely the entire meta hinges and non-sensical letters).Honestly I don't think this was unfair at all.
