Get a Clue!

#1

Post by Cap'n Rick »

Ahoy, Muggles!

If you're looking for yet another meta puzzle to solve, I just submitted an entry to Crosshare's Midi Contest for March. The theme this month is "Games". I've already posted Hints on Crosshare, but I doubt you'll need them. I'd like to thank @BarbaraK for help with pretesting and for providing excellent feedback.

Meta Prompt: Can you identify the killer, the weapon, and the location?

Good luck!

P. S. And please don't forget to check out @Wendy Walker's awesome meta "More Than Words" on the recently-rebooted "Smooth Sailing Sundays (SSS)".

Yes! Found it last might and did it. Enjoyable and redacted, but that's the way to reel them in, right? :lol:
Good going, Cap'n!

Nice one! Hope you win (again!)
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:

This was a lot of fun! Loved it.

I had forgotten about the midi-contest. So who wan last month? Where do you hear.


EDIT: And here's my entry Oh, that move changed everything
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.
