        Ready willing and able! Ready’s partners was the main clue, with able as the in-grid clue. Leaving willing as the other partner to ready. “Ready” has other partners, like set & go for example, but once “able” was added as a clue that was the giveaway that the other partner was “willing” for purposes of the meta
