    The funny thing is that I was looking for clues that match the words with 'time' prepended to them, even though I'd seen 'upon' while trying to find the first step.
    • Capn Rick constructor · 2024-12-15T13:48:35.736Z
      Yeah, I like to change up my mechanisms from time-to-time (pun intended) 😁.
    • lbray53 2s · 2024-12-15T12:46:39.310Z
      Perfect Sssunday puzzle.
      Apparently, Mwoychick utilized TIME TRAVEL in order to solve this 5 days ago!
      • Capn Rick constructor · 2024-12-15T13:50:55.987Z
        Thanks, lbray53. Yeah, those Site Admins apparently have all kinds of super powers. 😁
      • DavyGravy 1s · 2024-12-15T13:36:44.665Z
        Nicely done Cap’n. And congrats on that 60 lb. striped bass! Hey wait a minute, wasn’t it 40 lbs. the last time you told that story?
        • Capn Rick constructor · 2024-12-15T14:31:53.241Z
          Thanks, Dave. And yes, that fish continues to grow every "time" I tell that story. 😆
        • Wendy Walker 4s · 2024-12-15T14:19:56.210Z
          Enjoyed this one, Cap'n! Thanks!

            Fun, Cap’n! Thanks!
            • Capn Rick constructor · 2024-12-15T15:24:00.236Z

              After 15 minutes—OK no alternates! Thanks, Capn Rick!
              • Capn Rick constructor · 2024-12-15T16:26:33.900Z
                Thanks, Meg. Yeah, I wanted to mix things up a bit today.
              • Dave C 2s · 2024-12-15T15:23:32.348Z
                What Eric Porter said. We tried to make it way harder than it was.
                • Capn Rick constructor · 2024-12-15T16:25:50.636Z
                  Thanks, Dave. I wanted to make it harder too, but then I remembered it's "Smooth Sailing Sunday." 😁
                • michaelm 🤓7:38 · 2024-12-15T16:06:51.539Z
                  Honored to have solved your metas, Cap’n. Time and time again!
                  • Capn Rick constructor · 2024-12-15T16:27:14.125Z
                    Thanks, Mike! And I see what you did there! 😆
                  • Bird Lives 4s · 2024-12-15T16:18:02.529Z
                    Perfect Sunday starter. Once I'd found the themers (symmetry is such a big help), I was like a quarterback in the pocket going through the rotations. The first and obvious one (initial letters) isn't there. The second one (parallel clues) also goes nowhere. A second look at the title led to the next logical target, and bingo.
                    • Capn Rick constructor · 2024-12-15T17:29:39.403Z
                      Great job going through the options and reading the defense, Jay! Now let's see if Russell Wilson can perform as well in Philly later today. 😄
                    • KayW 🤓5:08 · 2024-12-15T16:26:08.854Z
                      Nice and smooth!!! I must admit I spent wwwaaayyy too much TIMElooking for synonyms for the compound words, despite the hint from the title. Thanks Capn!
                      • Capn Rick constructor · 2024-12-15T17:35:08.028Z
                        Thanks, Kay! Yes, this "time" I abandoned the alternates. 😁
                      • woozy 🤓7:55 · 2024-12-15T17:14:55.741Z
                        Wow. Okay, I figured it was you look for Time in the grid and look above them but all I could find were PERIOD, IDES, and NOW. Took nudge two to realize there had to be seven (gasp) of them so I had to look elsewhere.
                        • Capn Rick constructor · 2024-12-15T18:48:02.526Z
                          Thanks, woozy. Yep, the TIME entries appeared 7 "times" in the grid. 😄

                              Late getting to this, but finally solved. Saw the TIME words pretty quickly, but then like others, I tried to make it too hard. Thanks for the puzzle, Rick!
                              • Capn Rick constructor · 2024-12-16T03:28:25.996Z

                                Here's an idea for a meta I don't really think I'm going to get around to create. The title is "Scramble Eggs on top" (Is that a phrase? A title of a book? I dunno, sounds familiar). You have 3 or 4 themers with with the letters E,G,G as a group but not in order, and the letters beneath the E the G then the other G... oh, darn, but won't work as the two Gs are indistinguishable. Okay some other word... The idea here was I thought maybe the "votENO" had ONE (as in once) so below you have DOP and so on. The HONORED above OWEDTO could make WOT... it obviously it wasn't that.
                                • Capn Rick constructor · 2024-12-16T03:30:40.976Z
                                  I think there might be a meta idea in there, woozy. Stay tuned!
                                  • woozy 🤓7:55 · 2024-12-16T15:42:42.235Z
                                    The one trouble with CrossHare (whose miraculous and magic benefits are unlimited) is that you can't work on more than one idea at a time. I've got three ideas right now but can't start one til I finish the other.
                                    • Capn Rick constructor · 2024-12-16T17:35:54.889Z
                                      Yes, I think the Crosshare Constructor only allows you to create one puzzle at a time. This usually isn't a hindrance for me, but when I do have multiple puzzle ideas, I'll sometimes take screenshots of incomplete grids to help me resume.

                                    I didn't get it immediately; wnet looking for VACATION, HOUR, WORMHOLE FEATURE, etc. WHen that didn't work I tired the letters of the TIME words and thought I was going to get something to do with glasses. Then tried the letters of the clues (a ls some other constructor I know), then figured the ONCE probably HAD to mean something and it sure did. Great CR meta.
                                    • Capn Rick constructor · 2024-12-16T14:49:20.265Z
                                      Thanks, DrTom. That's the trouble with being a constructor - we often overlook the more-obvious mechanisms.

                                        Late start, but insta solve, since it was more or less what I expected from the title. I didn't even remember to read the prompt lol. Nice aha when I realized why the themers started at 2A instead of 1A. Very spiffy, as usual. Thanks. :)
