        Oooh -- sparkles when I solved! Thanks, Mikey -- glad someone went easier on us this week!

            Clue for 38D says 37A but should say 37D.
            • Mikey G constructor · 2022-06-04T23:20:14.426Z
              Thanks!! Fixed on all forms.

              I usually turn off autocorrect and predictive keyboard features, but I have a newish phone and it suggested WHEEL OF FORTNITE.

                Another fun grid from MikeyG. Nice !!
                • Abide 10s · 2022-06-05T11:20:09.610Z
                  Liked the Easter eggs!
                  • Cindy Heisler 2s · 2022-06-05T12:02:44.032Z
                    I never find the Easter eggs!
                    • SJMcK 🤓17:40 · 2022-06-06T02:30:05.569Z
                      There are Easter eggs?
                      • Abide 3s · 2022-06-06T03:06:57.606Z
                        I'd consider 22 & 51 A as confirming Easter Eggs...
                        • Mikey G constructor · 2022-06-06T21:20:55.591Z
                          I kind of liked the "pseudo-Easter" eggs in this one, if you will, haha! I definitely thought to put them in later kind of casually but figured it made for 4 theme entries (3 full ones and 2 half ones!).
                          • rjy 3s · 2022-06-09T11:30:35.765Z
                            If these were Easter eggs, they were my main clues… got it with Vanna. Was the wrap-around VOW-EL intentional?
                    • Cindy Heisler 2s · 2022-06-05T12:03:55.483Z
                      As usual, I loved the clues. Nice easy meta. Thanks, Mikey!
                      • SJMcK 🤓17:40 · 2022-06-06T02:30:40.228Z
                        I would like a W please, Pat.
                        • maturin 🤓8:42 · 2022-06-06T12:39:06.713Z
                          Terrible at metas but manages to guess the answer to this one :)
                          • Mikey G constructor · 2022-06-06T21:19:45.306Z
                            You must be wheely good!
                          • dplass 15:27 · 2022-06-07T00:15:11.641Z
                            Ha! I just noticed Pat and Vanna.
                            • DrTom 3s · 2022-06-09T16:57:48.119Z
                              Another tough, but completely hilarious, Mikey Grid. Thanks for helping to restore my solving confidence, I've been in a real slump.
                              • Bird Lives 🤓15:33 · 2022-06-09T22:46:10.866Z
                                Great clues, as always. I'm not much of a Wheeler. Are the entries at 35A and 58A part of the show?
                                • Mikey G constructor · 2022-06-10T00:17:21.803Z
                                  Yep! The three things you can do on each turn are SPIN, BUY, and SOLVE, which end the three main themers. PAT and VANNA also make an appearance!

                                  Fun puzzle, Mikey! Clever cluing as always.
