Erratic Kelp

#1

Post by Wendy Walker »

It's Monday, April 1, and in this puzzle we're celebrating the birthday of a well-known Muggle constructor who, even though he's been with us for only a year, has made quite an impression on us all. And how better to celebrate his birthday than by solving a meta puzzle? Shout-outs to the always-generous@ajk for test-solving, MMM Maestro @Abide, and @Joe Ross for his formidable formatting (and tutoring!) skills. Hope you enjoy this one as much as I did creating it.

Off the couch! Had to think for a bit before the pieces came together. :-)
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:

Well done, Wendy!

And Happy Birthday to you didn’t really think I’d put the answer here, did you?:) !
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.)

:crossed_swords: :rabbit: :couch_and_lamp: OTC. Fantastic meta and birthday tribute to a great muggle constructor (but then isn't that redundant?) Thanks for the fun!
