- Mike D constructor · 2021-05-30T15:00:36.560ZEach of the across entries has lost its head to become a different entry. The parenthetical clue gives a clue to the original entry. From top to bottom the missing letters spell HEAD, which is what the Queen of Hearts was always trying to chop off of folks
- Anthony Pecorella 🤓45s · 2022-08-26T23:17:16.149ZOh, nice! I got "head" but hadn't put together that it was a description of what had happened specifically. Well done!
- FrankieHeck 🤓23s · 2021-05-30T15:54:05.918ZThat was fun! I was worried at first because the submission form popped up immediately and covered the grid, before I had a chance to look for the meta. But obviously I was able to make it back to the form. I would look forward to more metas from you :-)
- Mike D constructor · 2021-05-30T16:12:31.081ZThanks Frankie! Maybe I can think of some ways to make it more obvious how to toggle back and forth between the grid and the submission form
- hector pefo 🤓22s · 2021-05-31T14:44:28.197Z... and then become "Show Comments" after submission.
- Philip Chow 🤓29s · 2021-05-30T17:27:42.278ZNice - this meta submission box is an awesome new feature!! Off with their heads!
- Mike D constructor · 2021-05-30T18:40:39.027ZThanks Philip! Hopefully it'll be live for all constructors soon
- Philip Chow 🤓29s · 2021-05-30T20:03:28.718ZA suggestion I thought of is let's say you're working on a meta and it's a really tough one, what if when submitting an incorrect entry, you can make it so you get a hint instead that will nudge you in the right direction? or enable a hint button or something?
- Mike D constructor · 2021-05-30T20:30:50.981ZThat's a good idea! I think maybe you should still only get one submission but should be able to get one or more hints beforehand. I created an issue here - feel free to track or add any thoughts there.
- emz 🤓46s · 2021-05-31T12:13:52.979Znice meta :) at first i was hesitant about the one-submission per meta restriction but after thinking about it a while i think it's fine. i feel that in my experience w metas it's really impossible to somehow get the wrong answer, you always know the answer when you see it
- Mike D constructor · 2021-05-31T12:32:49.090ZThanks! I'm open to any and all suggestions - I agree w/ you generally but I do also think it'd be nice to give people a second chance. Maybe if you submit the wrong answer and there are hints available it nudges you instead (like Philip suggested above)?
- hector pefo 🤓22s · 2021-05-31T14:43:18.437ZThis is cool; thanks! It'd be nice to have the puzzle title in the main puzzle view. Also, "Show Comments" is not obviously where to look for a prompt and to submit. In fact, it might be cool to have that read "Meta Info" at first, with just the prompt and submission form (1/2)
- Mike D constructor · 2021-05-31T15:19:35.420ZGreat idea! I'm making a change now to switch that out to "Meta Info" until you've submitted. I'd like to include the title in the main view but it's hard to find a place for it. On large screens it could fit in the title bar but probably won't work on mobile. Any ideas?
- hector pefo 🤓22s · 2021-05-31T23:09:33.328ZI'm the last person to ask, but I think the usual solution is having stuff under a three-bars icon, or in your case three dots and "More". Can the title be atop the menu you get? As a solver, I'd just be looking for obvious things to click.
- Mike D constructor · 2021-06-01T00:49:45.500ZYeah I can definitely add it at the top of that menu, that's a good idea!
- Emma Oxford 🤓11s · 2021-05-31T14:48:48.415ZThis is a great feature, thanks Mike!!
- Mike D constructor · 2021-05-31T15:36:33.138ZThanks Emma
- JeffPrug 🤓23s · 2021-05-31T15:28:28.882ZAwesome! Looking forward to the feature rollout. I would also be in favor of the ability to add hint(s) which display rather than immediately revealing the correct answer if the solver enters an incorrect answer.
- Mike D constructor · 2021-05-31T15:48:11.126ZThanks! It's now live for any constructor to use when uploading or constructing a new puzzle.I think the people have spoken and hints will be coming soon - progress can be tracked here.
- BrennerTJ 🤓19s · 2021-05-31T17:47:37.766ZGreat to have immediate feedback on whether the submitted answer is correct. Wondered why I didn't see myself on the leaderboard -- then noticed that it is 'updated hourly' not immediately. If the answer is more than one word, would spaces or punctuation matter?
- Mike D constructor · 2021-05-31T18:54:02.850ZSpaces and capitalization are ignored but I think you're right I should probably have it ignore punctuation as well!
- Pandora's Blocks Weekly Meta Crossword 🤓36s · 2021-06-01T00:56:26.157ZThis is awesome Mike! Love the new feature!
- Mike D constructor · 2021-06-01T01:10:26.616ZThank you for the idea!
- Lloyd 🤓27s · 2021-06-01T09:24:18.694ZReally fun! I'm terrible at metas (I'm improving thanks to Pandora's Blocks), but this was the first I ever got right!
I like the mechanism and can only agree with others' comments on functionality. Well done, Mike.
It's inspired me to try my hand at a related meta, too.
- Mike D constructor · 2021-06-01T12:42:01.149ZAwesome that is so great to hear! LMK if you have any suggestions after trying it as a constructor, too
- Tarot And Rye 🤓35s · 2021-06-01T14:56:40.447ZI had (Dame) EDNA for my guess but I loved the puzzle!

- Abide 🤓33s · 2021-06-11T03:03:21.320ZI like on crosshares how the solving times are embedded in the comments. The "speed to meta" stat is a cool feature. I was pleased with my 33 seconds until I saw the other times. 11 seconds? Really Emma-lol?
- Mike D constructor · 2021-06-11T11:18:30.883ZThanks! The time shown is actually just the time to finish the grid, not the meta. And yes some folks are crazy fast!! 33s is a great time though, nice job!
- Abide 🤓28s · 2021-06-12T03:47:55.166ZAh, you’re right...although a start to meta answer time would be pretty neat too!
- benchen71 🤓24s · 2021-10-02T02:18:10.864ZI love the meta functionality here on Crosshare. You've made it really simple for me to very quickly get up and running with my own metas. Thanks, Mike D. Oh, and this is a cool meta, too - I love the Queen of Hearts angle!
- Mike D constructor · 2021-10-02T10:46:42.601ZThank you! I'm glad you're enjoying it and putting it to use
