    Clever as always!

      A Mikey meta makes any day better :-)
      • Mikey G costruttore · 2022-03-06T03:43:29.255Z
        You're too kind! A puzzle has done its job if it elicits a smile.
      • boharr 4s · 2022-02-26T23:29:28.530Z
        Clever. Took a nudge so no prize drawing for me. Thanks.
        • wendy walker 4s · 2022-02-27T13:27:32.663Z
          So glad that Heidi recommended that I give this one a try!
          • Hector 16:43 · 2022-02-27T16:36:35.905Z
            I like the challenging second step. Very good meta!
            • Mikey G costruttore · 2022-03-06T03:43:54.034Z
              That seems to be the opinion on that tricky second step - of course, if you know what it is like the creator does, it always seems simple at first!
            • Chaddog 🤓17:32 · 2022-02-28T19:07:24.876Z
              What a great meta, Mikey! Thanks for sharing!!
              • Laura M 🤓16:10 · 2022-02-28T21:03:07.135Z
                Good one, thanks!
                • Cindy Heisler 2s · 2022-02-28T23:26:12.798Z
                  Enjoyed this. Great clues- as usual! Thanks!

                      In the spirit of 62A, I waited till today to solve it. Not a stumper but perfectly logical. Clever and admirable construction.
                      • ship4u 🤓3:28 · 2022-03-02T15:45:19.417Z
                        A masterpiece of puzzle construction and great fun! Bravo!

                          Trying to pay homage to this puzzle with a tide-y / wave-y pun of my own … Swept away! Lame, I know. But I loved the puzzle. Thanks, Mikey!
                          • Mikey G costruttore · 2022-03-06T03:44:35.400Z
                            When I place my detergent sideways, I've turned the Tide. (That's All.) (Just a little Cheer.)
                          • Abide 🤓1:15:31 · 2022-03-06T01:38:05.522Z
                            Took me three guesses but nudge-free. A tricky little second step!
                            • Darth 🤓17:33 · 2022-03-06T04:13:32.006Z
                              Busy week, so I put this meta on the back burner... I didn't know what to do with fair tide and foul tide, but I found what I needed when I focused on the others. Fun puzzle. Thanks, Mike!
                              • dplass 8s · 2022-03-16T23:25:42.860Z
                                I mashed "reveal" - can someone please explain the mechanism?
                                • Mikey G costruttore · 2022-03-18T17:30:08.818Z
                                  Sure! The "TIDES OF MARCH" (which reinforces the title) is meant to indicate that you are looking for TIDES. Five of them - LOW, EBB, NEAP, HIGH, and RIP - are hidden in entries in the grid. Using the other entry, FIRSTANDLAST, if we take the FIRST and LAST letters BELOW each of these tides (the title, the clue for FIRSTANDLAST, and the nature of tides all clue into this), we get MW, AA, KV, EE, SS, which - taking the first letters, then the second - spells out MAKES WAVES, the answer!
                                  • dplass 8s · 2022-03-18T23:04:46.908Z
                                    Wow. I would have never ever gotten this.
