The first Month of March Muggle Meta Monday is also the last MMM before daylight savings, and a special day it is. Today’s puzzle is right on schedule, though I composed it back in 2023. I’m not even sure I remember how to solve it, which is to say that this is not an easy one. It’s at least a 3, some say a 4. Without asterisks to mark the themers, it might be more like a 5. But with the stars to guide you, plus tenacity, imagination, and perhaps the Internet, and with our MMM drum and bugle corps keeping the beat, you should march forth to the solution. If not, there will be nudges.

The answer is an actor whose name sounds like a middle school subject.
