Beam me up! I had to back solve a couple of letters. One I understand, the other I’m still trying to understand.

PM me with the piece you don't understand. I think that it all fits nicely.

Keep looking and see if you can find something! Sometimes, as I always do, I need to put it aside and come back to it.

This was a fun one; it seems like it's more 2.5 based on the comments, which is fine by me! He said BUBBLES several months back was like that; he said some saw it immediately and for others it was impossible.

I had a similar experience as many -- solved the grid, saw the meta fairly quickly, submitted what had to be the answer even though one small piece wasn't resolved. A day later that final piece clicked. A d'oh moment to be sure!

Beam me up! Not confirmed but a 100% click.

I can think of several comments I would love to make about what I assume to be the sticking point for many but it would be too difficult to avoid a spoiler.

EDIT: Confirmed.

Nope. I got a friendly hint, nudge, elbow, kick, shove and finally pretty much the whole mechanism from a kind fellow Muggle. This was a never-gonna-happen for me. Sigh.

I'm almost positive I know what the mechanism is now. I am still clueless as to how to use it to solve the rest of the puzzle!

Agreed, but I was referring more so to the quality of the metas. Very creative mind!

Beamed up. I found this to be a really fun puzzle, despite (or perhaps because of) the larger-than-normal grid. have a great weekend.

UPDATE - Beaming has been accomplished.

Waiting for confirmation on being beamed up. But confident in answer.

Late to the party as was traveling friday and the puzzle was released 10 minutes after the door closed on the cigar tube. after touring campus with son decision has been made.... A Gamecock he will be come fall.

Now hanging with family in Mt Pleasant, first time I've solved the puzzle using the electronic version which was ok, but I'm still more of a luddite when it comes to puzzles

Did the puzzle right away on Friday. Saw nothing. Just picked it up again a moment ago and .... there it is! Submitted but not confirmed. I will assume I'll be beaming up soon.
