Flip A Coin was a title that again tells you what you must do. When you flip a coin you go from a head to a tail and that is what this Meta did using a simple word ladder (hinted at in 15A)
1A HEAD
21A HEAR
27A HAIR
33A HEIR
37A PAIR
54A PAIL
TAIL - the last step and the meta answer

Fun one to fill and solve! Yes fairly easy but I appreciate and need that on a weekend with another impossible MGWCC to stare at. Thanks DrTom!

Fast and fun. Wendy made the path clear. The only problem is that now I've got an earworm of Miles's "Seven Steps to Heaven."

Very nice, Dr. Tom! Loved the cluing, as usual (especially 29D). Thanks for the Sunday snack.

Now back to the Gaffney/Berry pain

Solved after the first prompt shook the cobwebs from my brain. Actually, shouldn't have needed the first prompt, as it just reminded me to focus on the title. Then when I saw HEAD and PAIL (which is one letter off from TAIL) at the opposite corners of the grid, I knew what was happening, and the rest fell into place very quickly. Nice variation on an old theme that hasn't been played for a while.

First "nudge" not "prompt" - guess I still have some cobwebs hanging around...
