    Answer: I'M STUFFED
    Explanation: Per the title, we'll be looking for leftovers - more specifically, "left"s and "over"s! There are four words on the left part of the grid that can be preceded by LEFT to get another phrase: ALONE, OUT, FIELD, and TOWN. Similarly, five words on the upper part of the grid can be preceded by OVER (so you can imagine the "left"s and "over"s dotting the outside of the grid): LAP, PASS, CAST, ACT, and DUE. Play alternate entries with these new phrases (for instance, LEFT ALONE fits the clue for IGNORED, and so forth). The initial letters of these nine entries corresponding in clock-wise order from ALONE to DUE spell out I'M STUFFED, the fitting answer to this Thanksgiving meta (and I had to stuff a lot in this grid also!).

      Beautiful, and a nice chewy challenge for a Gaffneyless Friday!
      • dannyvee 3s · 2023-11-24T19:00:58.541Z
        Fun, happy thanksgiving!
        • andeux 🤓9:43 · 2023-11-24T20:01:03.669Z
          The middle part of a Venn diagram is the intersection, not the UNION.
          • Mikey G constructor · 2023-11-24T21:49:11.566Z
            And I know this as a math person, aaah! You're absolutely right. Okay, I'll have to adjust.
          • Cindy Heisler 2s · 2023-11-24T20:21:28.319Z
            Thanks for the early puzzle. Fun one for the day after Thanksgiving!
            • Meg 2s · 2023-11-24T21:17:58.265Z
              Great puzzle! I submitted my answer in lowercase and it came back incorrect. Good thing I tried with all caps.
              • I K Snamhcok 3s · 2023-11-24T22:08:47.814Z
                So am I. Good one. Thanks(giving), Mikey!
                • Mikey G constructor · 2023-11-30T19:49:22.114Z
                  Still stuffed nearly a week later, haha.
                • boharr 3s · 2023-11-24T22:01:10.146Z
                  Thanks Mikey. Happy Thanksgiving
                  • BarbaraK 3s · 2023-11-25T01:10:02.563Z
                    My first submission, with the apostrophe in I’m, was rejected. Since it had to be right, I tried again with no punctuation and it was accepted.
                    Fun puzzle! I got the down overs quickly and knew what it had to be, but more fun to find the full solution. Spent a while looking unsuccessfully for synonyms of over par and oversteer before finally letting that go and seeing the lefts.
                    • Berto 🤓6:09 · 2023-11-26T14:01:29.163Z
                      Exactly what I went through!! Thought the “left” meant put “over” on the left (prefix).
                      • Mikey G constructor · 2023-11-30T19:50:06.418Z
                        Yeah, I have a feeling a few might have gotten UFFED first, and if that leads to the solution, fine by me!
                    • merlinnimue 🤓10:31 · 2023-11-25T19:16:54.242Z
                      ended up randogramming... it took me quite a while to find the ordering, not knowing it was RIGHT UNDER my nose :p
                      thankful for your neverending cleverness, even if i could never hope to match it to return in kind
                      • Abide 🤓17:06 · 2023-11-25T23:55:54.765Z
                        Waiting to see if there’s a 75 connection. My early guess was bingo balls and FREE SPACE. There’s not much of that left after Thanksgiving!
                        • Mikey G constructor · 2023-11-28T05:53:11.286Z
                          Holidays will always supercede number connections, haha.
                        • Berto 🤓6:09 · 2023-11-26T14:07:51.946Z
                          Very clever puzzle. I got the “U-F-F-E-D” and figured ‘I-gnored’ and ‘M-issing’ had to be used. I even looked up “overfield” hoping it was an archaic/obscure baseball position - Doh! Also couldn’t get “I’m” to be accepted but “im “ went through. Phew! Thanks Mikey!
                          • DrTom 14:01 · 2023-11-26T15:08:30.039Z
                            Well I guessed it but didn't solve it. Now I have to go back and see how to get there. I know it is going to be clever so I am awaiting the "OK, that's funny!" moment. Not going to peek just yet.
                            • DrTom 14:01 · 2023-11-27T05:19:38.644Z
                              Well that was one of the most difficult backsolves. Turns out there are 9 words that could be paired with OVER, including OVER STEER and OVER PAR. Needelss to say trying to find the alternate answers was lengthy and futile. There is also at least one more LEFT (I admit LEFT did not dawn on me until I looked at the nudges) in that LEFT OFF could certainly be a possibility. Took me forever to get to the letters i needed and then I did not know to do it clockwise, but since I knew what the letters had to be that was of little consequence. Good job stuffing in all that content!
                              • Mikey G constructor · 2023-11-30T19:51:59.516Z
                                Yeah, it's usually a clue (and I think it is for most metas that go beyond 15-by-15 occasionally: MGWCC and Pete's come to mind - of course, Rick had that epic one last year!!) that a big grid is always necessitated by a reason for it. I usually try to make the puzzles as small as the entries will allow!
                              • HeadinHome 🤓1:43 · 2023-11-27T20:46:34.275Z
                                Wow I found that challenging! The grid was both long and tough, and the meta took a while too. I saw multiple opportunities for OVER to be added: over.BRED, ASKED.over, over.PLAN, and over.ICE-POPS.over had two, and SHORTSTOP could have both words left.SHORT STOP.over. Finally saw the clustering around the perimeter (left side, and over top, of course!) and when I focused there I noticed the companion clues/words in the grid (LEFT TOWN was the first one that popped out, because it made me think of O Brother Where Art Thou (“she done R-U-N-N-O-F-T”) which was already in my head from the TOOK OFF entry. All in all, a fabulous feast of a meta!
                                • Mikey G constructor · 2023-11-30T19:56:30.407Z
                                  Yes, I can see that the natural fill can propagate a lot of unintended connections, so I have to be careful with that! Almost like the "be not led astray" comment on the MGWCC - I definitely tried to put the geographical positions in there to help, but that's still pretty well-hidden in retrospect! Still happy for a decent feast of a puzzle!
                                • Darth 27:31 · 2023-11-28T04:15:22.697Z
                                  Nice one, Mikey! Grateful for you. ;)

                                    Was using “EFF-OVER” for a while
                                    • MatthewL 🤓16:22 · 2023-11-28T19:41:25.201Z
                                      Finally got it. This was an extremely Mikey puzzle -- very punny and clever. Thanks for the stuffing!
                                      • Laura M 🤓28:03 · 2023-11-29T08:51:36.621Z
                                        Very nice! I was on a completely wrong track until the nudges; in retrospect it should have been obvious, but that's how these things go...
                                        • Tyrpmom 🤓9:42 · 2023-11-29T23:25:53.705Z
                                          I really struggled with this one, but with nudges I finally got it.
                                          • KayW 🤓5:34 · 2023-11-29T23:29:25.188Z
                                            Wow what a fantastic meta and puzzle - as always. Very elegant to put the LEFTs on the LEFT and the OVERs on TOP. I needed remedial nudges to see it- I must still be in a Thanksgiving food coma myself.
                                            • rjy 3s · 2023-11-30T15:26:11.464Z
                                              In a prior life, worked in a restaurant where leftovers were referred to as LO’s - didn’t know if this was otherwise a common thing, but I fixated on it got nowhere. Especially with exactly 9 clues that had “lo” in them. Couldn’t be a coincidence, right??? I guess not… But quite fun, Mikey!

                                                Finally got it after 9 nudges. Then I had to anagram, but that's because I had to use my fire tablet instead of my computer. Fun challenge!

                                                    Fantastic meta. I got nudged to the answer, but even after I saw what answer the letters had to spell, it took me a while to realize how they were ordred.

                                                      i really enjoyed this one... it had so many layers! I got "UFFED" right off the bat and guessed that "i'm stuffed" had to be the answer but kept trying to attach OVER to all the words with no further progress... then reread the title and i was like what about LEFT? after realizing i had completely IGNORED that part, everything else fell into place. thank you for your puzzles! i am thankful for all the work you put into each and every one of them 😊
