This meta appears to be quite tricky! Don't forget you can email me for a hint (see email in description above)!

Nice puzzle. Imma give the meta a shot even though I'm generally as lost on them as a vagabond carrying around a blanketstick! (which is the definition of 28A I'm familiar with).

Good luck! Let me know if you need a hint!

As always super fun! Loved the cleverness on the cluing for 59A and 21D.

And also as always, onto the meta...

Thanks! I'll pass your compliments along to Sara!

I kept trying CALZONE for the Uncrustable instead of RAVIOLI!  The A and O matched, haha.

Great puzzle! Kind of embarrassing but I only just learned that a rude person was a BOOR and not a BOAR 😂. Time for the meta!

I think if you called someone a BOAR it would have the same effect, so it's close enough for me! lol

Makes me feel better that I’m not the only one! 😂

This one was a lot of fun, now to figure out the meta!

Also, halfway through I realized this puzzle isn’t rotationally symmetrical.. feels so different haha

Yup! Some construction constraints made me change up the symmetry a bit. But I kind of like it - a little bit of a fresh feel!

It did feel fresh! Also, today’s NYT puzzle was also mirror symmetry, not rotational... must be new trend!

Hey -- new to these, but they're really well made. 

Question about the meta -- is the athlete a specific one, or just a type of athlete? Or is that too specific a question to ask?

Thanks! Glad you're enjoying them! That's a perfectly valid question - I'm looking for a specific athlete's name as the answer to this one.

My first cw here, really enjoyed this one!

Really smooth grid - so fun to solve! I think I've got the meta too 🎉

My first meta attempt, loved it! Such a fun grid to solve. I think I have the meta answer? Can a word in the meta answer also appear in the grid?

Hey Taylor. Thanks! So stoked you enjoyed it! Normally (although every rule has its exceptions) a word in the meta answer will not also appear as an entry in the grid. If you'd like to check your answer, go ahead and shoot me an email! PandorasBlocksWMC[at]gmail[dot]com

Nice! My only objection would be to calling the USO a company. It’s a government affiliated nonprofit.

Good catch Chris! Thanks - I've now updated that clue.

It's Pretty Black and White

absolutely loved the cluing david! really played to my strengths as a zoomer with a 60 year old's taste in music. the clue for DAD was especially excellent!

The Lovers, The Dreamers, and Me

Fun solve - time to think about the meta!

I had KWS instead of KWH which led to SOUSECALL instead of HOUSECALL whoops!

Beyond Comparison

Do I have to spell It out for you?

Really great puzzle! I ended up having to try a bunch of letters to get the ARP/PRYNNE crossing but I'm glad I stuck with it!
