    Quite a surprise! Thank you. And Merry Christmas!
    • Capn Rick publisher · 2022-12-22T20:54:03.911Z
      We just came together to say "Thank you!" to you and the rest of the Moderators, Bob. Happy Holidays!
    • MatthewL 🤓15:52 · 2022-12-22T20:23:19.105Z
      Meta answer 1 completed. Now on to Meta, The Sequel
      • Capn Rick publisher · 2022-12-22T20:54:38.201Z
        That second one is a little tricky, Matthew. Proceed with caution!
      • whimsy 🤓8:00 · 2022-12-22T22:07:48.883Z
        Doing this once more felt a little like Groundhog Day -- meant in the best possible way! Whoo hoo to Rick and the gang and ESPECIALLY the MODERATORS!!
        • Capn Rick publisher · 2022-12-23T00:23:56.891Z
          Thanks for your help, Claudia!
        • Laura M 🤓22:51 · 2022-12-22T22:13:55.356Z
          Very cool! Now I have to figure out the second part... Happy Holidays, and thank you!
          • Capn Rick publisher · 2022-12-23T00:25:24.476Z
            Happy holidays to you too, Laura. Let me know if you need a nudge.
            Thanks, Rick
          • HeadinHome 🤓3:25 · 2022-12-23T01:20:05.930Z
            wicked good, y’all! I’m assuming the 11-letter one will include 2 other people I see… but no idea how to do it!
            • Capn Rick publisher · 2022-12-23T02:22:43.982Z
              Thanks, Heidi. You're closer than you think to the 11-letter answer.
            • ChrisCross 🤓22:35 · 2022-12-23T02:17:47.665Z
              Ugh and I just got the "hidden in plain sight" flavortext. :P I thought that might give me a clue to the second meta! Very nice, even if I'm disappointed that I'm down one clue.
              • Capn Rick publisher · 2022-12-23T03:43:56.362Z
                Nice job, Chris! Glad you enjoyed it.
              • ChrisCross 🤓22:35 · 2022-12-23T02:12:15.530Z
                I really liked this, fill and (first) meta solve. My solve time should say 30:XX. Somehow I managed to cheat my score. I was solving on two devices, switched over to the second one and solved it at 30:XX. Went back to my phone and refreshed the page to try to solve the meta, and it reverted everything back to the state of the puzzle at 20 minutes. By that point I knew all the grid answers enough to enter them quickly upon reading the clues, so I ended up with a cheating score.
                • Abide 18s · 2022-12-23T04:29:21.104Z
                  I think I may have helped with an original version of this, so there was a little advantage. But this version felt greatly improved. Great job Rick et. al. !
                  • Capn Rick publisher · 2022-12-23T14:01:44.816Z
                    Yes, Peter. You actually pretested this one a while back when its title was "Opposites Attract". The "QWERTY Dozen" stripped it down and recreated it as "Monumental Moderation" to pay tribute to you, Kay, Bob S., Bob H., Joe, and Brian.
                  • benchen71 3s · 2022-12-23T05:42:22.710Z
                    It was so much fun to be a part of this puzzle. Thanks to Capn Rick for bringing it all together. And many thanks to the moderators!!
                    • Capn Rick publisher · 2022-12-23T14:02:58.412Z
                      Thank you for all your help, Ben, and for providing a key clue that ended up doing double-duty for us!
                    • Dow Jones 8s · 2022-12-23T07:47:45.630Z
                      Yikes.....I was mapping the first letters of the answer from the bottom up and started to panic when M-O-R-O-N-S appeared. Great grid and meta. Congratulations to the constructors and thank you to the Moderators.
                      • Capn Rick publisher · 2022-12-23T14:06:14.638Z
                        Oops! Glad you were eventually able to uncover the entire answer, Dow! Thanks for solving.
                        • Abide 18s · 2022-12-23T17:43:42.438Z

                            I see what you did there, Peter!
                        • heidi 3s · 2022-12-23T17:08:17.318Z
                          Great puzzle and love the reveal. Now on to step two if Christmas preparations allow it. Kudos to all!
                          • Capn Rick publisher · 2022-12-23T19:28:17.857Z
                            Thanks for solving, Heidi. Good luck with the 2nd meta!
                          • Carolyn 3s · 2022-12-23T17:01:28.777Z
                            FUN! However, I got lost in a monumental rabbit warren. Perhaps it will help me solve part two. Merry Christmas!
                            • Capn Rick publisher · 2022-12-23T19:29:03.179Z
                              Thanks, Carolyn. Glad you had fun. Merry Christmas to you too!

                              What a fun puzzle and a great tribute to our forum moderators. Now on to part II
                              • Capn Rick publisher · 2022-12-23T19:29:32.268Z

                                On to the 11-letter...

                                    Oops! I was sure I had the answer, but kept entering the word without the S. Like a monkey who can't count up to 9! lol Fun puz!

                                      Thanks, Darth. In addition to the 9 in the grid, you will eventually see a couple more. Stay Tuned!

                                                          Thanks, ReB. And it was a lot of fun too!

                                                          finally got part 2, but, sadly, never could sort out part 1 . . .

                                                            Yes, amy, there was a lot going on and a lot to sort out in this puzzle. Thanks for solving part 2. For the reveal, go to https://www.xword-muggles.com/viewtopic.php?t=1980&start=40#p115958

                                                              i did check out the reveal earlier; it's a gem of a meta, no doubt. (as it turned out, i'd made a few of the necessary connections to arrive at part 1's answer. but i gave up quickly when there hadn't been any headway for what felt like eons, so i didn't give myself a chance to take a break from the puzzle and come back to it with recharged eyes/brain/etc. ....it's almost like my stupid careless missteps are right in front of my stupid face and i'm just over here refusing to learn from any of them . . . 😂 )

                                                                Aw, don't be too hard on yourself, amy. That happens to all of us meta solvers.
