    12D was my favorite clue. Some tough fill but certainly doable with crossers. At about my favorite challenge level. I really liked that alternate answers in step two had the same number of letters.
    It took me a bit to figure out that I needed to “take two” out and discard them. I was trying to use them. Again, an appropriate time to figure that out.
    I made it more difficult by thinking there was an * in the 58A clue. Bad eye floater day.
    Great puzzle. I would say week 2 to week 3.
    Thanks for the opportunity.
    • Chris Barbee constructor · 2025-01-05T05:01:13.705Z
      Thx! If no needed edits, I think it's good to go (I had another solver as well).
      • lbray53 7s · 2025-01-05T05:01:13.705Z
        Sounds like a good plan!
    • Cindy Heisler 2s · 2025-01-05T13:57:49.783Z
      Great meta. I knew to take the two center letters, but kept trying to find them elsewhere in the grid in a 3-letter word. I thought i had looked at the remaining letters, but obviously, not close enough. Took a peek at the nudges and gave myself a good headslap! Should not have needed nudges. Perhaps what I needed was another cup of coffee!! Thanks, Chris. Nice to wake up to a good meta on a cold, snowy morning!
      • boharr 2s · 2025-01-05T14:02:22.662Z
        Nice one. Thanks.
        • Carolyn 3s · 2025-01-05T14:44:47.821Z
          Very nice. Love it when the first thing I try works!
          • I K Snamhcok 🤓8:21 · 2025-01-05T15:13:40.880Z
            I test-solved this one, remembering some clues along the way (yes, 12d is a favorite; also 30d), but I didn’t immediately, ahem, RECALL the metanism. So it was great fun all over again. Thanks, Chris!
            • Bird Lives 2s · 2025-01-05T15:51:32.563Z
              Nice quick one. Great intro.
              • Darth 🤓13:04 · 2025-01-05T16:10:18.264Z
                Nice idea, Chris, and well executed! Thanks.
                • Abide 🤓8:16 · 2025-01-05T15:57:18.927Z
                  Nice puzzle and funny intro!
                  • JHSeeman 2s · 2025-01-05T16:13:11.040Z
                    Saw EP in the center then saw exEMPt was like cool....then realized I was in a rabbit hole. stepped back and saw the path. Fun Puzzle/Meta Chris. thanks
                    • woozy 🤓8:34 · 2025-01-05T16:32:12.652Z
                      Consider: Take the center two letters. EP,EN,CA, AT. But that's eight not 4. But consider the themeres come in pairs each exactly two rows apart. So take the center between the two. Between EP and EN is RU and between CA and AT is IN. And that spells .... RUIN.
                      • DIS 🤓4:08:02 · 2025-01-05T20:05:07.694Z
                        That was the first thing I tried, too.
                      • Lance 1s · 2025-01-05T17:28:56.975Z
                        Like woozy, I first took the two letters BETWEEN each pair of two letters and got RUIN!
                        • Meg 2s · 2025-01-05T19:00:46.029Z
                          Me too!
                        • MatthewL 🤓7:06 · 2025-01-05T17:18:38.336Z
                          Nice one. Chuckled at the clue for 9D. Thanks for the puzzle, Chris!
                          • ajk 🤓6:33 · 2025-01-05T18:35:17.523Z
                            Got the idea instantly, but took a bit to find the HOMAGE match. Clever idea, thanks.
                            • michaelm 🤓10:40 · 2025-01-05T19:34:53.688Z
                              Took one of the four middle letters of each * and unsystematically found META. Thanks, Charbee!
                              • rjy 2s · 2025-01-05T19:38:56.910Z
                                My first attempt was RUINed as well! Needed a nudge to course correct... fun one, Chris!
                                • Anita and Steve 4s · 2025-01-05T20:17:00.152Z
                                  I first tried another mechanism and got a seemingly valid answer, RUIN. Take words sandwiched between themers, take center two letters of those

                                    Good one.
                                    • kymike 2s · 2025-01-05T21:21:17.158Z
                                      Perfect puzzle for a snowy day sitting in front of the fireplace. Thanks Chris!
                                      • HeadinHome 🤓1:19 · 2025-01-05T21:22:56.417Z
                                        Super smooth grid, and briefly challenging meta (the CENTERS at center was a big nudge). This gave me a great idea for another meta. (If only I were one of those who create metas!)

                                          I think I speak for ALL of us who create metas, that we are all always happy to collaborate with new constructors and help bring your ideas to life :) If you're at all curious about constructing, you should absolutely reach out to any of us on Muggles!

                                          Late to the party. I’ve been painting all day. So I welcome this answer! Thanks for the puzzle Chris. Fun sssolve.

                                            God help me, i laughed at 9D. Thanks for the puzzle!

                                              Well I tried to oversimplify and then overcomplicate. My first foray was to notice that all of the themers had one double letter...well all but #2 - RATS. OK, read the roadsign clue 36A - EP, EN, CA, AT. Was there a clue that could like Where do you find the Staples Ctr. - INLA and the CA could answer it, or Type of dash - MAD that EN could answer...nope, are there three letter words with those letters , lime maybe CAR or EMT...nope. Well dang what does TAKE TWO mean...ok, literally TAKE the two HOMAGE was the first one I saw. Nice Sunday sail sir with some good clueing! (ah, and shame on you for tossing in PAGEANT!)😁
