A weekly meta crossword on the forum started by member Josh (aka madhatter5). These puzzles are often very creative with solving mechanisms out of the norm and skewing towards the more challenging. Puzzles are posted every Wednesday, and the solution appears the following Tuesday.

MEOW # 176 Recitation Implication

#1

Post by whimsy »

Hello All --

Today's MEOW puzzle should be a fairly tame Kitty, or Calico at the most. (If not, you might be overthinking. :D ) It might have even made an easy-like-Sunday-morning offering except that it was already slotted to fill in for the MEOW master's absence.

Co-incidentally, thanks to both the Cap'n and DrTom for their testing and editing, and to Joe who's about to do his best at teaching me the new posting tricks!

Nudges coming out on Friday or as needed.

The answer to the meta is an event.

Cat is off the bed, but not before barfing on the barely-used sheets. :sigh:

The cat is free but it took three attempts to accomplish that feat. I had never heard of such an event. My something new for today.

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:
