I’ve started it. Fun! And not all that easy.

Yes, I'm already stuck on Puzzle 2. It's kind of a cool set-up (although frustrating at the moment) where you can't open the next puzzle until you have solved the current one.

You know there are hints, right? Also, #3 is harder than #2, IMO. I’m currently stuck on #4.

Yes, but I haven't looked at the hints yet. Great news about #3, though!

There's absolutely no way I would have gotten #4. I feel guilty even continuing since I never found the key...

This is awesome - hard metas!! Or perhaps I'm just not familiar enough with Will's meta style yet. Stuck on #2 and refusing to give in to hints, yet.
Also stuck on the Monday Muggle meta - this "Alex" guy is pretty crafty! Kudos!

#2 seemed hard until I tried what seemed like too easy an idea and surprised myself that it worked. Still find an aspect of it puzzling.

4 was a killer. But.....5 I got by following my nose. Working on 6.

5 was fun and falls into an area I know a lot about.

Okay. I'll proceed as if I picked the lock. Just this once.

I needed a small nudge for 2, but then got 3 in about 15 minutes. Go figure. Just completed the grid for 4 - sounds like a tough one!

#4 was tough. I knew fairly quickly what was going on but never finished. #5 went really quickly and #6 was a blast. Stuck on #7...I have an answer but I'm not ready to try it yet.

I haven't been shy about trying answers. #6 in particular could have worked in more than one way, and it took me more than one try. Got #7 on the first try, though.

Me too. #9 is ... pretty unusual but fun.

Unusual is an understatement.

I'm out!! (but my confession: The only hints I used were in #4, but they didn't help because I was already doing what they said to do. It was what to do about "what I was already doing" that I couldn't get. And there's no way that was a spoiler!).

Just found this - thanks Brian. *sigh* Now I'm going to be up all night.
Two down, eight to go!
