What child is this?

· Di woozy · Pubblicato 2024-07-29T05:35:41.740Z

Meta Prompt
The answer to this meta is an apt noun
This is one of my "nothing weird" ones and should be a simple fast breezy level one... if you know something. If you don't know it there's no way. But everyone knows this. So Level 1.
Here is a nudge in the form of... another meta: A Short and Unpleasant Life

    Wow! Took me a long time to figure out that A. It wasn't an inferred answer, and B. What mechanism I should be using. I was quite familiar with the basis for where this was going about halfway through the grid, but still... I think you've got yourself a more than level one, woozy, even with the background knowledge. Glad I stuck with it and got the quite satisfying answer! Thanks for an initially frustrating and then fun puzzle!

      35A Monday's child is Fair of face = Pretty
      17A Tuesday's child is Full of grace = Agile
      51A Wednesday's child is Full of woe = Rueful
      7D Thursday's child has Far to go = Away
      41A Friday's child is Loving and giving = Generous
      67A Saturday's child Work(s) hard for a living = Outdo
      61D But the child that is born on Sabbath day, Is Bonny and blithe, good and gay = Nice
      A poem about PARAGONs. The meta answer is PARAGON
      Okay "Work(s) hard for a living" = OUTDO was a bit of a stretch.

        Got it at last! I don't know why I fell into "the title is the prompt" trap - it is a very well-crafted and straightforward meta. I am conveniently blaming all my meta-solving issues this week on a weekend hospital stay and pain pills I'm still on. (I'm fine now, just a bit addled.) Thanks for the fun!

          Nice! I vaguely remembered the poem. Googled and got a different version, but knew that N had to be the final letter. Thanks, woozy!

            I got there! I had heard of the nursery rhyme but it did not spring to mind until waaaaay into the nudges!
