    Fun one. Thanks.

      Great job, Mikey! Don’t stop.

        These are a nice detour!
      • Capn Rick 🤓11:50 · 2022-08-06T18:17:18.128Z
        A nice Level 1 puzzle, Mikey. Thanks!
        • Gutman 32:07 · 2022-08-06T19:03:07.601Z
          Nice break. Cool clues.
          • Cindy Heisler 3s · 2022-08-06T18:47:51.655Z
            Fun puzzle, Mikey.
            • emmie 16:00 · 2022-08-06T20:56:16.071Z
              Fun!
              • dplass 9:32 · 2022-08-06T22:23:55.295Z
                I liked the metanism but not the clues. TFTP
                • whimsy 21:00 · 2022-08-07T00:05:02.097Z
                  Time after time, I fall for it -- "Hmm, something doesn't seem quite right...." Well worth the temporary confusion! :) Thanks, Mikey!
                  • Mikey G constructor · 2022-08-12T16:45:41.860Z
                    I like puzzles that have that temporary confusion, haha - sometimes, in the NYT Thursdays (some of my faves), that confusion is more than temporary!
                  • Dow Jones 4s · 2022-08-07T00:24:51.156Z
                    Excellent construction and clues, Mikey.
                    • Robert Hutchinson 🤓7:46 · 2022-08-07T00:41:40.052Z
                      The first long entry I filled in was 29A29AA and others[---------] ("A and others"), and I have to confess, I didn't even blink!
                      • Abide 🤓13:53 · 2022-08-07T00:51:29.330Z
                        Nice one. I yield back my time.
                        • Mikey G constructor · 2022-08-12T16:45:17.484Z
                          I do not enter into this pun battle!
                          • Abide 🤓13:53 · 2022-08-13T00:39:06.853Z
                            Dip.
                        • I K Snamhcok 1s · 2022-08-07T00:45:55.706Z
                          Indeed, a welcomely easy break from the last two toughies. But don’t get me wrong, Mikey. I love the toughies too!
                          • Mikey G constructor · 2022-08-12T16:44:45.786Z
                            Yeah, Levels 1 and 2 are needed some times!
                          • woozy 🤓28:20 · 2022-08-09T15:55:29.846Z
                            Cute. Fun. Although I'm not 100% sure I understand every thing about it. (Or maybe I do)
                            • DIS 🤓10:22 · 2022-08-11T16:16:44.287Z
                              A great example of a puzzle that's not hard but is still impressive and fun. Thanks!
                              • DrTom 3s · 2022-08-11T16:26:57.181Z
                                Wow, excellent puzzle for many reasons: (1) I could actually solve it (2) Great “alternate” words (3) Eight letter answer (4) Eight sided sign (5) Add an O and I’ve got a notice to put on my front steps - maybe the cats will read it
                                • Mikey G constructor · 2022-08-12T16:44:32.584Z
                                  I like the idea of a STOOP SIGN! I liked that I was able to stack the two pairs of 9-letters on top of each other, which required a bit of ingenuity!
                                  • DrTom 7s · 2022-08-14T03:26:46.363Z
                                    Well of course, you have demonstrated your ingenuus (or is that genius) any number of times ;-)
