Awesome grid and meta -- thank you!
- Capn Rick constructor · 2022-08-22T12:15:33.158Z
  Thanks for solving, Hector! Glad you liked it.
Schmeel 3s · 2022-08-22T11:06:20.301Z
Great puzzle - thanks!
- Capn Rick constructor · 2022-08-22T12:16:18.621Z
  Thanks, Schmeel. And thank you for your detailed synopsis via PM.
FrankieHeck 7:57 · 2022-08-22T12:15:26.496Z
Great puzzle/meta!
- Capn Rick constructor · 2022-08-22T13:44:36.975Z
  Thanks, Frankie. Glad you enjoyed it!
Ergcat 15:42 · 2022-08-22T13:41:51.705Z
Fun start to the meta week! Thank you!
- Capn Rick constructor · 2022-08-22T14:46:32.302Z
  Thank you for solving, Ergcat.
I K Snamhcok 1s · 2022-08-22T15:13:19.771Z
Very fun!
- Capn Rick constructor · 2022-08-22T17:51:56.688Z
  Thanks, Chris!
Dow Jones 4s · 2022-08-22T16:15:47.858Z
I liked this meta. The grid was doable without having to use Mr. G. Thanks for this creation, Capn Rick.
- Capn Rick constructor · 2022-08-22T17:53:03.127Z
  Thank you, Dow. I do try to make the grids "Google-free" so that folks can spend more time on the meta.
hoover 3s · 2022-08-22T17:09:43.730Z
That was fun! More steps than I thought I would need.
- Capn Rick constructor · 2022-08-22T17:53:18.289Z
  Glad you liked it, hoover!

woozy 🤓10:08 · 2022-08-22T17:50:39.398Z
Fun... I'm embarrassed to confess how long I stared looking for step 2.
- Capn Rick constructor · 2022-08-22T19:16:34.077Z
  Thanks for solving, woozy!
Darth 🤓8:45 · 2022-08-22T18:33:50.703Z
Well-constructed puzzle and fun to solve. Thanks!
- Capn Rick constructor · 2022-08-22T19:17:13.958Z
  Thank you, Darth. Glad it was fun for you.
Meg 3s · 2022-08-22T19:03:56.411Z
I mean this in the nicest way possible, but some of the constructors on the forum could take a lesson from Capn Rick on how to construct a grid with no bizarre made-up entries. Just actual words we’ve heard of. It was a joy to fill in the squares!
- Capn Rick constructor · 2022-08-22T19:19:12.206Z
  Thank you, Meg. I appreciate your comments. I try to minimize the amount of grid Googling so that solvers can spend more time on meta solving.
DrTom 3s · 2022-08-22T19:15:28.185Z
Another enjoyable Cap'n Rick, lucky for me I know REVERIE is another name for DREAM. In French to dream is rêver and la rêverie means "daydream". Merci pour l'énigme mon Capitan!
- Capn Rick constructor · 2022-08-22T20:40:51.030Z
  Il n'y a pas de quoi, mon Docteur!
Laura M 🤓6:51 · 2022-08-23T06:02:47.159Z
Spent way too long this morning thinking that 18D was the key entry, somehow missing 61D entirely. Came back tonight and went "15A!" Very nicely constructed, and challenging without being anywhere near as hard as I made it :-)
- Capn Rick constructor · 2022-08-23T12:08:44.394Z
  Thanks, Laura. This one is playing a little harder than I thought it would, but once solvers make the 61D connection, it becomes relatively easy.
Bbaack 🤓11:40 · 2022-08-24T00:13:42.610Z
That was a fun one, thanks!
- Capn Rick constructor · 2022-08-24T00:58:41.705Z
  Thanks for solving, Bbaack. Glad you enjoyed it.
Cindy Heisler 2s · 2022-08-24T09:01:38.983Z
Needed a nudge to get started on the meta (shouldn't have), but very doable and fun. Thanks!
- Capn Rick constructor · 2022-08-24T11:35:32.529Z
  Yes, getting that first step seems to be the trickiest part of the solve for a lot of folks. Glad you enjoyed it, Cindy!
Magistra 25:03 · 2022-08-24T12:21:46.152Z
This was my first time attempting a Monday puzzle! Both the grid and the meta were a lot of fun. I had my answer yesterday but didn't submit until this morning because I couldn't find the middle letter in the grid. I decided that it couldn't be anything else and took a chance. Thanks for a great puzzle!
- Capn Rick constructor · 2022-08-24T13:31:10.726Z
  Thank you, Magistra, and welcome to the Monday MMM! Glad you enjoyed the puzzle. (By the way, that middle letter could leave you with an earworm.)
Hidden in 3D 4s · 2022-08-24T13:54:03.433Z
I totally agree with Meg and Dow Jones (re: Capn Rick's grids)! So fantastic to fill in a puzzle without consulting Mr. G. Thank you!
- Capn Rick constructor · 2022-08-24T14:52:28.753Z
  Thank you, Hidden. I appreciate the compliment!
Bird Lives 3s · 2022-08-24T13:57:05.793Z
Great puzzle. I needed nudge because, as often happens, I was looking in all the wrong places.
- Capn Rick constructor · 2022-08-24T14:59:44.087Z
  Thanks, Jay. Did you like my double shout-outs at 50D and 51D?
  - Bird Lives 3s · 2022-08-25T16:50:22.640Z
    Yes thanks, though it's probably pretty vain of me to think of all bird references as being about me. If I remember correctly from a psych class, that's called "egocentric attribution."
Carolyn 2s · 2022-08-24T15:37:27.009Z
Phew! Needed the first few nudges. Fun
- Capn Rick constructor · 2022-08-24T15:58:47.180Z
  Thanks for solving, Carolyn.
michaelm 4:41 · 2022-08-24T19:26:51.619Z
Thank you Cap'n! Very well played.
And the aha nicely captured the sound of egg on my face.
- Capn Rick constructor · 2022-08-25T01:55:12.237Z
  Thank you, michaelm! Glad you enjoyed it!
Richard 17:00 · 2022-08-24T21:44:23.889Z
Enjoyed the grid and the meta was fun.
- Capn Rick constructor · 2022-08-25T01:55:42.332Z
  Thanks for solving, Richard!
Teamdoubletow 3s · 2022-08-24T23:55:24.476Z
We really enjoyed this one! Grid was lovely... Probably wouldn't have gotten far without nudges.
- Capn Rick constructor · 2022-08-25T01:56:21.985Z
  Glad you liked it, Ali. It is playing a bit harder than expected.
kurtalert 1:14 · 2022-08-25T22:21:03.576Z
Very nice! Fun puzzle. My first time playing one of yours.
- Capn Rick constructor · 2022-08-25T23:49:29.823Z
  Thanks for solving, kurtalert. Stay tuned for more down the road!
Qmark 15s · 2022-08-26T17:31:15.288Z
Super puzzle! Thanks!
- Capn Rick constructor · 2022-08-26T19:50:31.380Z
  Glad you liked it, Qmark!
ReB 4s · 2022-08-27T20:58:08.102Z
Finally got to the puzzle as WSJ turned out to be rather easy and the MGWCC is delayed until tomorrow. Took some nudging (3rd) to rev up my meta brain. Nicely constructed.
- Capn Rick constructor · 2022-08-27T22:53:39.812Z
  Thanks for solving, ReB!
