WOW. This was very tricky and very fun - great puzzle!

Damn. Toughie, but very interesting and clever.

Really made me think!  I enjoyed it a lot.

Wow - when I first opened this one and saw the clues I said "NOPE" - but I'm glad I gave it a second chance! Very impressive and rewarding to solve :)

This is awesome! I think the note really helped clue me in 👍

I had to look for the last two squares.  I get "blankslate", and "snailspace" is clever, but in the other direction... can we do that?  I guess we can.  And you did.  And it worked.  After few moments of shock and protest, I retrospectively thank you.  <grin>

Had EMPTYSLATE at first before realizing that BLANKSLATE sounded much better lol. Note definitely helped!

Did You Know?

On the Cards

If anyone wants to know how a particular clue is spelled without the typo, just ask :)

Can you explain how the meta works? Nice puzzle - had a heck of a time trying to work my way through it 😊

Each clue has one of its letters replaced by another letter/character. Taking these letters in order (Acrosses and downs), they spell out the first verse of Close To You by The Carpenters. e.g. ASP is [Certain wiper] instead of Viper, so you should take the W.

Whoa. I don't feel so bad about not getting it now.

wow wow wow. i was writing down the typo letters as i went but got distracted bc i’ve been watching shrek while i solved this. great meta, great song, great work!!

Fun! Hard! That was a clever concept. I didn't know about the song, but once the meta clues were finally done (with lots of checking) the few remaining clues were a piece of cake. Thanks!
