    Very cool! Was too tricky for me to figure out w/o knowing the MIB trick

      I thought about including actual clues for TALLY and ACING, maybe with the clues for MENTALLY and MENACING in brackets, but maybe that would make the meta clues stand out too much?

        What’s the MIB trick?
        • Mike D 1:52 · 2022-05-06T11:45:34.636Z
          "Men in Black"!

        really clever puzzle with just the right amount of sneakiness to it... i stared at ACING the whole time since I didn't understand the clue and kept thinking AC was abbreviation for something I was unfamiliar with...

          I usually am garbage at metas, so thank you for giving me the chance to feel clever - great little puzzle!

              Nice one! I knew what was expected, but I confess I still had to use OneLook ("*TALLY") in order to find a suitable synonym.
