Meta Prompt
The answer to the meta is a girl's name
Here's a "week one" meta for you; it includes 5 clues with a leading asterisk which should hopefully bring the difficulty down a bit! I had some fun putting this one together. I trust you will enjoy solving it and seeking the answer to the meta, which is a girl's name. Answer & explanation: https://www.xword-muggles.com/viewtopic.php?p=141509#p141509
Check out "The MOAT Mini Pack of Marching Bands" here: https://www.ephesusscroll.com/about/interest4.html. US$5 gets you 7 Marching Bands which, hard enough on their own, now contain metas too. And once again there's a mega-meta!

    W--l done! ;) Thank you, Ben.
    • benchen71 constructor · 2023-09-05T22:57:40.433Z
      Nice!
    • Hector 2s · 2023-09-05T13:53:32.883Z
      Happy birthday to Eleanor? And, three Elnathans in one bible sentence -- what's that about? Thanks, Ben!
      • benchen71 constructor · 2023-09-05T21:25:59.640Z
        Indeed, this puzzle was constructed to celebrate my daughter's 21st birthday!
        • SamKat9 🤓8:47 · 2023-09-06T01:29:11.986Z
          Ha, I thought the same thing
          • benchen71 constructor · 2023-09-06T03:18:40.157Z
            Guess it was a very popular name at the time!
        • Alex Sisti 4s · 2023-09-05T13:42:48.735Z
          Very egant.
          • benchen71 constructor · 2023-09-05T22:57:48.959Z
            I see what you did there!
          • Meg 2s · 2023-09-05T13:39:02.251Z
            Lovely Aha! moment. Just when I thought I wasn’t going to crack it. Thanks, Ben.
            • boharr 3s · 2023-09-05T14:02:22.013Z
              Week one with lots of homework.
              • benchen71 constructor · 2023-09-05T22:59:15.068Z
                I had to schedule this one as a "week 1" because this is the week of my daughter's birthday! I think it's actually more of a week 2 or 3.
              • Tyrpmom 2s · 2023-09-05T14:44:01.735Z
                I have to be honest and admit I don’t have the beginning, but EANOR was enough. Something EL? I will ponder.
                • Tyrpmom 2s · 2023-09-07T00:06:45.689Z
                  I didn’t read the intro, so I didn’t know the asterisk in 17A was not thematic. Oops.
                • markhr 🤓9:20 · 2023-09-05T16:08:06.417Z
                  I had ELP as the prog-rock group (very big in the 70s), which caused me to stumble a bit. Finally caught on. Clever meta.
                  • woozy 16:45 · 2023-09-05T16:39:18.650Z
                    very clever and slightly (only slightly) devious.
                    Was briefly thrown by the asterisk in Sagitaurious A* but I got better.
                    That's my sister and favorite great aunt's name.
                    • benchen71 constructor · 2023-09-05T23:00:03.947Z
                      My blurb specified "leading asterisks" deliberately! ;)
                    • HeadinHome 🤓15:33 · 2023-09-05T17:41:55.265Z
                      Whew - that was a google workout! Once I got the alternate “El-“ words, I tried the correct method, but since I had Eliezar for the third part, I gave up on the (correct) mechanism (Eleaior??). Just started guessing El-names for girls and got lucky on Eleanor. Now I see I should have read a little further in the Ezra verse!
                      • MatthewL 🤓5:29 · 2023-09-05T18:04:04.990Z
                        Uggh. Got stuck on ELP too. Took a while. And that's with both my mother in law and sister in law being named Eleanor. Cannot believe I didn't see it sooner. Oh well, lovely puzzle, Ben! Thanks.
                        • Carolyn 2s · 2023-09-05T18:03:59.976Z
                          Cute!
                          • JM 10:54 · 2023-09-05T19:04:57.838Z
                            Nice one! Some day I would like to see Ingrid Bergman from Casa Blanca clued as “La Ilsa Bonita.”
                            • Philip Chow 6:52 · 2023-09-05T19:18:19.105Z
                              Very fun puzzle thanks you! Sagittarius A* threw me off! I had ?EANO for a while before scanning the clues again and realized I missed the LOTR asterisked clue… whoops 😅… btw I think 67A is a typo?
                              • benchen71 constructor · 2023-09-05T23:01:57.049Z
                                Yes, I corrected the clue when someone suggested the original clue ("Mrs. Sacha Baron Cohen") was wrong. Trouble is, the replacement clue ("La ___ Bonita") was also wrong. I've since edited it again!
                              • I K Snamhcok 🤓11:56 · 2023-09-05T20:26:57.588Z
                                I also had ELP at first. And i had hoped to see my own personal fictional hero — Kal-El, aka Clark Kent, aka Superman — here, but I’m very pleased to have found ELEANOR, which is my dear daughter-in-law’s middle name. Very nice!
                                • ajk 7:20 · 2023-09-05T20:27:54.851Z
                                  Shortcut it a bit since it was advertised as a week 1, so once I caught on to the EL start and had the five replacements I just jumped to Eleanor. Didn't notice until I came here that the first letters spelled out the rest for me (which would have been useful, since I had to look up the spelling 😆). Lack of knowledge and less than easy google path made getting the 40A replacement tricky, but eventually I got literal and just typed the clue into google, which produced the correct answer. Neat and tidy in the end, but yeah maybe more week 2 than 1. :) Fun stuff, thanks.
                                  • benchen71 constructor · 2023-09-05T23:03:28.732Z
                                    I scheduled it this week since this is my daughter Eleanor's 21st birthday! The puzzle is definitely more of a week 2 or 3!
                                    • ajk 7:20 · 2023-09-06T15:01:57.895Z
                                      Cool :)

                                    Very nice puzzle! Thank you, Ben! And Happy Birthday, Eleanor!
                                    • SamKat9 🤓8:47 · 2023-09-06T01:28:37.948Z
                                      Very clever puzzle! I thought Eanor was an odd name, and then it finally hit me.
                                      • Berto 🤓3:48 · 2023-09-06T02:17:58.979Z
                                        Loved it!!! ELated to have solved! Thanks, Ben!
                                        • Laura M 🤓6:07 · 2023-09-06T02:30:48.260Z
                                          A very Happy Birthday to your daughter! Mine is also 21 (and three-quarters by now). Also 64A, any relation?
                                          • benchen71 constructor · 2023-09-06T03:21:25.780Z
                                            No relation, at least not unless you go back many generations. The name is Cornish, btw.

                                            Happy Birthday, Eleanor! (Aren't you glad they didn't name you Wilhelmina -- my first off-the-wall guess!) Thanks for a somewhat challenging but fun puzzle!
                                            • ReB 5s · 2023-09-08T00:05:31.082Z
                                              Unfortunately, other than for 39A, I had to look up/google all the other themers as the themers were not in my knowledge base. Even still, I needed one more nudge to get me out of my 42A rabbit hole (ELK), after which the answer came immediately. Not one of my more successful weeks.
