    Great puzzle Will! I feel like I'm almost to the bottom of the meta - will have to come back to it and see if I can finish figuring it out
    • Mike D 🤓9:49 · 2020-08-16T13:14:38.291Z
      I think I got it - the Eagles?! Really fun puzzle. I spent a long time trying to connect the mismatched X and O with a scrambled team name. It wasn't until I reread the clue for MANTOMANDEFENSE that I thought of intersecting the matchups w/ LINEOFSCRIMMAGE
      • Will constructor · 2020-08-16T14:15:44.411Z
        You got it!! Glad the clues pointed you in the right direction. That's what they're there for. Also, it was Brian's suggestion to include SCRAMBLING which I think is such an awesome addition. Cheers!
        • Mike D 🤓9:49 · 2020-08-16T15:19:56.605Z
          That was an awesome addition! Definitely helped point me in the right direction.
