    Had HEE haw instead of YEE haw and couldn't figure out the SW corner as a result. Another great puzzle, though! Time to try for the meta 😊

      Thanks Mike! Glad you enjoyed it. Good luck with the meta - it's tough!

      It was great fun, very challenging! I didn't get it all myself, but I had fun. Thank you!

        Does the meta work here? 1A refers to a word above, when there is none, and I can't backsolve from 4A either.
