Sorry IDAHO - I'm sure there are other things you're known for besides potatos.

Michelins or Goodyears

Oh my! I feel like they just keep getting racier! I finally solved it after spending too much time trying to figure out what Trump might want to NUKE 😂

Tonight Show Punchlines 2

Fun solve! Had a couple of mistakes I couldn't quite find - kept trying to make ARI work for ASU. The themers made some sections tricky! Time to think about the meta :)

Good catch JBT! I've just fixed that clue 😎

Thanks for the catch JBT! And yeah, Mike, the clues/grid on this one were tricker than the meta (I think).

Fun puzzle! The only word in the sequence I couldn't find was >!knees!<, but I'm not sure if that's the answer or if I just missed it. If that's right, it'll be one of the only metas I've solved. Nice having an easier one every once in a while!

You're close! Shoot me an email and I can give you a nudge :)

Will's Weekly Meta: Anatomy and Phyzoology

Great puzzle Matt! Love how you find clues to make even bland entries fun (UPTWO, SRO, etc)

Awesome-  just shared these with a friend who will appreciate your sense of humor and baseball references

Hurray! This is the first of your puzzles I've solved without having to use check to find the square I missed! Amazing clues on 10-down and 38-down! Did you intentionally put those in or did they just happen to come up?

Daily Show Punchlines 3

I got stuck on SCRUB/DRE/OUR! Great puzzle Matt - I loved the clue for RAKE 😂. And BROWNNOTES was hilarious to see as fill

Loved the long downs and the clue on 39-across! I spent five minutes trying to find the error but couldn't :(   (I had END instead of ETD).

Daily Show Punchlines 2

Really clever! I liked CAPS and ERGO/OGRE (and obviously BARBARBAR)

What Happens in Vegas...

Great puzzle, Will! I liked ONESIE, NOBODYPANIC, and POSENAKED 😂 - meta time!

One Up

This is an updated version of a puzzle I made last year.

Great puzzle DPM! Some really great / tricky clues in here. ETCH had me completely lost. I loved the double clues and the themers were all fun.

Whoops, forgot that .puz files lose the rest of a clue after a period followed by a space. 69A is "Day of avg. difficulty"

Deja Vu

Hi folks! Please note that this puzzle was not constructed by me! It was actually constructed by Leonard Williams, who is the first guest constructor for WWMC!

Heh I misspelled Lo MEIN and it took me forever to figure out what was incorrect! Great puzzle Leonard, now to try to figure out the meta...

I'm not very confident but here's my guess: ||*VISA* - Each of the themers has a synonym for *edge* then another word: woman, walls, waters & terrier. Those describe VIOLADAVIS, ISHTARGATE, SARATOGA & AIREDALE, respectively. The *leading* letters spell VISA||. How far off am I?

You can, but I think Will likes if you email it in (especially since I haven't implemented notifications for comments yet!)

Another great one Matt! I learned SAPID 🤓. Loved the clue for TRUSTFALL

Late Show Punchlines 1

Really fun puzzle Matt! I feel like I always learn some fun facts (and jokes) from your puzzles 👏

Thanks very much, always appreciate your kind words Mike D!

Wow AFROPICK got me. I saw PICK and was immediately "locked" into only thinking about metal locks.

Fun puzzle! I definitely got caught up on who Trevor Noah is :-)  One tiny issue - when you peer at something you peek at it. A peak is a summit or high point. Awesome puzzle, thanks!

Daily Show Punchlines 1

My guess is that it's ||the fizz sound of a can opening - TONIC, SODA, COKE, and OPEN are all located w/in the long theme entries. Seems almost a bit too easy, though - I might be missing something!||

That's what I thought too. Hopefully that's right because this would be my first successful meta solve.

Maybe a 3!  I didn’t know a regionalism.

Will's Weekly Meta: Downsides

Great puzzle - thanks! So many great clues 😂

Very funny, excellent puzzle! I'm still laughing at the amount of blood I shed trying to get "dotted i's" :-)

Punchlines 1

Great puzzle Jason! I couldn't quite get the NW corner - had trouble with IWISH, IWERE, and AES. Some fun clueing in here - I liked SSD

Dang I was two letters away from finishing. If only I had known the word ELAN!

nice puzzle, i was one letter off - i don't get the parseltongue clue tho!

It took me a while to get it—“S to SS”

Took me a while to find my one error—Had SLICEr for the innovation to bread making and never noticed rIET made no sense...

Animated Wordplay

The crossing of 9-across and 3-down is a bit unfortunate, but they're technically >!two different words: its and it's!<. Hope the rest of the puzzle was enjoyable!

That didn't bother me one bit! Didn't even notice

Ah, *on the side of*!! I could not figure that out - no more solving before coffee. Great puzzle Joah!

On Guard!

Ha another fun puzzle Max! I loved the clue for DOORS. I think there might have been a letter swap in ORALAGRUMENT though - oops!

Thanks again Mike, very embarrassed about that mistake :O Thanks for pointing it out, I don't know if I would have seen it!

Don't be embarrassed! It is a really great puzzle and so easy to not notice that sort of thing

Note: There is a misspelling in the answer to 70-Across, 2 letters are switched, sorry about that!

Themeless 2

Really fun puzzle Max! I really liked the clue for SEESSTARS and was cracking up at DRYASSPWORD 😂

Thank you Mike, glad you enjoyed it! I appreciate the feedback! :)

Themeless 1

Clearly the theme is animals, right?!  Consider this puzzle as my contribution to this overused theme.

Hilarious theme with a very apt title 😂 🍑 - great puzzle!

...Ya Filthy Animal

Great puzzle Will! I feel like I'm almost to the bottom of the meta - will have to come back to it and see if I can finish figuring it out

I think I got it - >!the Eagles!<?! Really fun puzzle. ||I spent a long time trying to connect the mismatched **X** and **O** with a scrambled team name. It wasn't until I reread the clue for MANTOMANDEFENSE that I thought of intersecting the matchups w/ LINEOFSCRIMMAGE||

You got it!! Glad the >! clues !< pointed you in the right direction. That's what they're there for. Also, it was Brian's suggestion to include >! SCRAMBLING !< which I think is such an awesome addition. Cheers!

Pick Six

Couldn't fit in a revealer, but hopefully you'll be able to figure out the theme from the note.

Nice one! I had *INDEPENDENCEDAY* in my head as the Will Smith film and kept trying to figure out how to fit that into 5 squares 🤣.

BLACK BEARD was the giveaway, though. Great puzzle!

INDEPENDENCE DAY would be a solid 15-letter answer. Now what could the rest of the theme be... FREE WILLY? 😂

Fun puzzle. Had PITCH without thinking I needed <BLACK>. It wasn’t until I got to <BLACK>BEARD that I realized BOzO was wrong (and what z?RRY should be).
