Tough grid. Nice meta.

Larger grid which took a bit longer. Agree - nice meta.

Fun. Not sure the asterisks were really needed?

Agree! Usually these metas are tricky, so I enjoyed the break.

Well, I appreciated the asterisks all the same. Probably the fastest I've ever solved a PGW.

Very enjoyable; vintage PGW.

Difficult grid.

Fun meta with a monster grid. Enjoyed it.

Im at step one of the meta lol hopefully step two hits me over the head. the grid was tough.

ok I think sam solved it but were not sure if we have the full reasoning or if our word is rly qualified. would someone mind answering a question in pm?

I'm happy to if someone else hasn't already contacted you.

I believe this is the first PGW I have ever solved. I often fill the grids, but abandon looking for the meta fairly quickly.

I got the pm I needed, ty. Still chugging along.

Well I’m missing letters in 3 different small answers but got the meta. As the great British philosopher Gavin Rossdale once said, “It’s the little things that kill”

Got it!

Good one. I agree it’s a tough grid (I had to google for a few last letters), but like seemingly all PGWCCs, it’s refreshingly free of crossword cliches.

That's how I'm feeling about now.

Lol, I thought I was going to be an early solver, but in all fairness it seemed relatively straight forward. The grid took me a lot longer than the meta.

woooo we did it. that was super cool. the meta was very fun and the perfect amount of challenge for us.

A nice gentle meta. I appreciate it.

Wow. I've been doing PGWCC since Puzzle #45 (well, rather trying to as it took me 6 attempts to finally get one right and that was pure luck but smooth sailing since then), and this is the first PGWCC I solved before finishing the grid!

This was definitely fun and what's more, the grid is 60% full and I am yet to Google a single thing!

Usually I start filling the grid for PGWCC early on and solve the meta on the deadline, after I tackled all the other -usually easier- meta puzzles of the week. This is weird, I don't know what to do now.
