        In 30a's clue, don't you mean "verification", not "varification"?
        • Pandora's Blocks Weekly Meta Crossword constructor · 2021-11-14T18:54:28.217Z
          Fixed, thanks!
        • THC 🤓5:19 · 2021-11-14T14:56:16.579Z
          Just right!
          • Meg 3s · 2021-11-14T14:31:15.983Z
            Don’t know why it took so long to do the obvious!
            • JM 10:08 · 2021-11-14T14:48:36.275Z
              Really fun! Didn’t even need a pit stop.

                  Really clever idea and execution...
                  • boharr 4s · 2021-11-14T15:41:40.501Z
                    Fun one. Thanks, Will
                    • Tyrpmom 5:15 · 2021-11-14T15:09:50.564Z
                      Nice. Thanks.
                      • Mike D 🤓7:13 · 2021-11-14T15:08:14.346Z
                        I really liked this meta! It mostly clicked right away but took me a while to put the three parts in the correct order (which also seems obvious in retrospect)
                        • David Plass 🤓5:03 · 2021-11-14T15:36:21.621Z
                          Nice, thanks for the puzzle!
                          • frostyjhammer 🤓1:26 · 2021-11-14T15:53:17.685Z
                            About my speed, thanks. Got the "over" and "under" pretty quick, but the "in" took a bit. Quite clever, and a nice change from the other two.
                            • Louis D 2s · 2021-11-14T15:22:46.183Z

                                Enjoyed it!
                                • Chaddog 2s · 2021-11-14T17:06:51.425Z
                                  Very crisp! Nice work, Will!
                                  • MajordomoTom 13:55 · 2021-11-14T18:46:05.572Z
                                    back-solved the LI, the other two parts were pretty nicely presented. Not sure how you could more readily have those two letters, that made it "interesting" to hunt for. Nicely done.

                                      Really liked this -- especially when I actually found the last little bit in the grid after I'd submitted! :o)

                                          One of my fave Pandoras in recent memory. Clean, straightforward grid and the final meta step was fun to do.

                                                Fun puzzle, Will...brought back lots of good memories of road trips when the kids were young.
