    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 MEIN15DLo ___ (Chinese menu dish)[----] 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 VIOLADAVIS26ATony-winning actress in "Fences"[----------], ISHTARGATE62ABabylonian wonder[----------], SARATOGA43ASprings with a namesake town in New York[--------] & AIREDALE46ADog with a wiry coat[--------], respectively. The leading letters spell VISA. How far off am I?

          You nailed it!

        Is this where I leave my guess?
