    Very clever meta. I got the answer, but it took me a minute to see what you were getting at. Thanks, Schmeel!

                                      Good stuff, thanks. Took me a few beats of muttering 'oh no, I'm not going to see this apparently easy one' before it popped out. :D

                                            At first I thought I might find a dime, but no. Thanks, Schmeel! Liked it a lot!

                                                I had the same thought as whimsy. Thanks for a fun start to the week.

                                                          Don't know how I got this one. I think Dievan jumped out at me, and then sette seemed mildly familiar. Nice one.

                                                                How you people think up these things I will never know! I mean, not only do you find a phrase containing what you need, but you find 2 pairs of them with the same number of letters, AND the four of them have an interrupting letter that forms a word, AND in an order that can work for a symmetrical grid?? Unbelievable.
                                                                • Eric Porter 4s · 2023-02-28T19:25:19.306Z

                                                                  • Teamdoubletow 2s · 2023-03-01T11:49:45.675Z
