    Very fun puzzle! The clues for MAGMA and ERNE were both hilarious but threw me off a little - I was trying to find a lava eagle constellation or something 😂
    • Pixlate 🤓12:00 · 2021-06-07T00:22:54.492Z
      Damn, lucky guess for the meta. I have no idea how to actually do it. Something to do with how every starred entry has an A? Fun puzzle nonetheless!

        I like that multiple answers are accepted, but I was a dope and entered two versions at once and had it marked wrong.
        • Pandora's Blocks Weekly Meta Crossword constructor · 2021-06-07T01:17:53.255Z
          Thanks for letting me know. I've now set it up so that if you enter both versions at once, it should be correct.

            Noice!

          Very cool, Will! (I would think most places would have your size...)
          • Doc 17:28 · 2021-06-08T15:50:50.774Z
            Amazing construction. I had a hunch about the answer from the get-go but took a while to sort out how to get there.
            • Caroline 🤓5:52 · 2021-09-18T00:38:37.551Z
              Amazing!

                I'm solving on mobile, so I took a screenshot and used Pocket Paint to highlight the relevant A squares. The shapes of the big and little dippers are spot on. Technically asterisms, not constellations.
