#78 - "Where Did You Go?"
The answer to the metapuzzle is a something you might say after being abandoned (as you’ve been by the vowels in some of this puzzle’s clues.)

Folks -
I published this without having adequately researched one aspect, and that may lead to confusion for some. The clue for 61-across has been amended slightly. New version of the puzzle is now available for download.
Sorry about that ...

Cool puzzle!
Though I'll admit, I needed two nudges from another solver to get it.
Just when I begin to think I'm getting good at these things, I'm brought down to earth by a meta maker's deviousness.
Grrr!!!

Same. Life is really getting in the way of my meta game.

Oh good, now I don't feel so bad :-) I still want glance at it a few more times, see if I can get any new ideas to fall out, but I have to stop obsessing! Sometimes I just don't see it.FrankieHeck wrote: ↑Wed Sep 30, 2020 8:11 pmSame. Life is really getting in the way of my meta game.

As previously noted, I needed a couple of nudges to solve this meta. But looking at it again now, I'm thinking that I might have gotten it all by my lonesome if I had just ... well, I'll stop there, for obvious reasons.
That is: Either you see what you need to, to get rolling on this solve ... or you don't. I didn't.
Still, it is, I think, a very do-able puzzle. Though I'd probably rate it a Week 4 level in difficulty. Or maybe Week 3.5? What do you think, other solvers? Especially you solo solvers.

Well after another look I feel like I have to be starting down the right path. Not going to stress about making it all the way, though.FrankieHeck wrote: ↑Wed Sep 30, 2020 8:11 pmSame. Life is really getting in the way of my meta game.

Seems to be a repeated mantra - two key nudges and I finally have an answer to submit.

Week 3.5 or 4? I should probably save myself time and give up now. Still, my curiosity is piqued. Would someone be willing to PM me a nudge please?

This was a tough puzzle, and I needed a pretty firm nudge to get started, but I'd rate it as my favorite meta of the week. I loved how the different pieces all tied together for the big aha.

Wow, this was really pretty cool. I was trying alternate answers (and had a couple of the right possibilities) but didn't get the ghost connection at all. Ah well, PGW wins again :-)
