Wearing of the Green
◆ · Por Capn Rick · Publicado hace 1 día
Meta Prompt
The answer is someone who wears green.
Hint: I wonder if there are any "green" entries in this grid?
Hint: Holy cow! I found 6 "green" entries, and their first letters spell something recognizable!
Hint: The clue for 58A says it contains a "hint to solving the meta," so maybe I should try looking UNDER what I have so far.
Hint: Hmm, as KayW would say, the entries UNDER the "green" entries all seem to be "sportsing" terms.
Hint: Holy cow! The first letters of the 6 "sportsing" entries also spell something recognizable!
Hint: Oh, now I get it! The "sportsing" entries are "wearing" or "have on" the "green" entries - kinda like a "uniform" per 27A.
Hint: Remember, the prompt says the answer is "someone" (i.e. an individual) - not the entire team!

- Darth 🤓10:22 · hace 1 díaOh, I needed to type that in the singular! haha Thanks, Capn!
- Capn Rick constructor · hace alrededor de 23 horasThanks, Darth. Yes, I'll probably get that from a lot of solvers today. Will have to address it in the Nudges.
- woozy 13:41 · hace alrededor de 18 horasAs well, I needed to notice themers themselves spelled something. When the second word (in the singular) failed I was wondering if you were doing some horrible easter egg.
- Capn Rick constructor · hace alrededor de 17 horasI don't think there is such a thing as a "horrible Easter egg," woozy. :)
- Cindy Heisler 2s · hace alrededor de 22 horasThanks, Cap'n! Fun.
- Capn Rick constructor · hace alrededor de 22 horasYou're welcome, Cindy! Glad you enjoyed it.
- michaelm 🤓7:25 · hace alrededor de 21 horasLoved it, Cap’n, but as a Sixers fan, I’m obligated to give you the Bird on this one. Thanks!
- Capn Rick constructor · hace alrededor de 20 horasHa ha! I'll gladly take "Bird" again any day! Love that photo of him exchanging "niceties" with Dr. J.
- Dave C 3s · hace alrededor de 20 horasI guessed it right away with all the references to basketball and then quickly saw the over/under with the "green" items. Cleverly done.
- Capn Rick constructor · hace alrededor de 20 horasThanks, Dave. Yeah, those basketball entries that spell C-E-L-T-I-C are "wearing" (or "have on") the "green" entries that spell B-O-S-T-O-N.
- Moreo5 🤓12:29 · hace alrededor de 20 horasNice one year commemoration with 77A!
- Capn Rick constructor · hace alrededor de 18 horasThanks, Moreo5. Glad you spotted my SSS plug!
- imontoo 3s · hace alrededor de 20 horasThanks, Cap’n! Nice one for a SSS.
- Capn Rick constructor · hace alrededor de 18 horasThank you, imontoo. Glad you enjoyed it!
- KayW 🤓6:51 · hace alrededor de 20 horasYay!!! I got a sportsing meta! And I already saw several Easter Eggs. Now time to make sure I found them all... Nicely done - thanks!
- Capn Rick constructor · hace alrededor de 18 horasHa ha! Thanks, and congrats, Kay on solving a "sportsing" meta. Good luck with your Easter egg search! (Don't forget the two "overs" in the 52A clue, which is positioned directly "over" 58A UNDER.
- KayW 🤓6:51 · hace alrededor de 18 horas... and just saw the nudges. Yeesh, I missed HALF the metanism - I thought those bball terms were just the usual superb Cap'n Easter Eggs. VERY nicely done!
- MatthewL 🤓5:58 · hace alrededor de 20 horasFun one, Cap'n! Saw it almost right away, which is how I like my Sunday puzzles. Thanks, Rick!
- Capn Rick constructor · hace alrededor de 18 horasThanks, Matthew. I'm glad I got the difficulty dialed in correctly this week.
- DavyGravy 2s · hace alrededor de 20 horasThe basketball court in the center of the grid is a nice touch. Very clever!
- Capn Rick constructor · hace alrededor de 18 horasThanks, Dave. I needed to make this grid 16x15 to accommodate the doubling-up of the stacked themers. It still retains symmetry, but it's vertical this time.
- Bird Lives 4s · hace alrededor de 20 horasWhen my first guess CELTIC was marked wrong, my impulse was to go with JASON TATUM, but then I thought of history, making him only one of many many. Thanks for the green memories. And Havlicek stole the ball.
- Tyrpmom 🤓12:56 · hace alrededor de 19 horasWasn’t careful in my solving. I blame the ease of guessing on Crosshare.
I see it’s all there if you pay attention.- Capn Rick constructor · hace alrededor de 18 horasThanks for solving, Tyrpmom. I expected to see a lot of "Boston Celtics" (plural) answers today, which is why I tried to emphasize "someone" in the prompt.
- ajk 🤓7:06 · hace alrededor de 19 horaslolololol even though I test solved this I missed half of it (in my defense, I test solved it like 2 months ago
). Spotted CELTIC but missed the BOSTON part this time around - Capn Rick constructor · hace alrededor de 11 horasI made so many different versions, Alan, that I almost missed parts of it myself.
- Carolyn 3s · hace alrededor de 18 horasLots of fun!
- Capn Rick constructor · hace alrededor de 18 horasGlad you enjoyed it, Carolyn.
- whimsy 🤓1:01:37 · hace alrededor de 9 horasI must have tested a very early version -- I don't remember this! (I thought I remembered testing something that had St. Pat as the answer, or was that something else?...who knows?
) And just now I only entered CELTIC at first because that jumped out at me before I even noticed the turtle, and the onion, and the other greenies. I'm just too close to the subject, I suppose.
Anyhow, terrific work! We're lucky 
to have you and your puzzles, Cap'n! Thanks!- Capn Rick constructor · hace alrededor de 8 horasThank you, Claudia. Yes, you tested an earlier version back in January, but I know I significantly rearranged and changed a lot of things since then. Heck, I was still tweaking it the night I posted! Hopefully we'll finally be able to run one of your fine puzzles on SSS this year!
