The Fill Me In episode #246 puzzle is up! You can download the PDF (it's not a PUZ for reasons that will become obvious) at:
https://bit.ly/fmi246con
Introductory text for the puzzle:
Below are two identical grids, and appropriately, there are two clues given for each clue number. Clues are listed
alphabetically for each number, and it is up to you to determine which grid gets which answer. The solution to this
week’s contest is a 6-letter word.

Very creative and amazingly constructed! I'm enjoying these puzzles a lot, although I feel bad that I'm not listening to the podcast (or entering the contest). (Sorry!)

Solved! That was a good puzzle. Was lost on one wrong path, and then the idea came to me.

Well that took a while! Finally got it thanks to a kind Muggle who steered me away from a much more complicated path.
I have a blind spot for this sort of technique so I’m glad it came to me.
Onward to Muggle Meta Monday!

I didn’t get this last Tuesday (due to an error in my grid). Circled back around to it today and figured it out. I really liked this one. It was unique and was fun and would have been great even without being a meta puzzle.

The answer to "Twinlets" was GEMINI.
Once you complete both grids, there are only six letters that are the same between them, and those six letters spell GEMINI, an apt answer for this contest.
