    The answer to the meta is, of course, Old MacDonald. Three symmetrical lines in the grid, as well as the puzzle title, all share the sequence E-I-E-I-O. You may also notice that all clues and words in the grid contain only the vowels E, I, and O, too.
    I have been constructing meta 15x15 puzzles for the past year. This was my second midi to construct and a fun challenge! Thanks for playing! Cheers!
    • woozy 🤓6:34 · 2024-12-17T16:34:23.064Z
      Not sure I understand the reason for the gray squares.
      Would have been great if we coul... oh! Now I get the gray squares! ... d have fit in a BAA. (Maybe an alternative to 33A "What do you think of my argument?" "BAA!")
      • Darth costruttore · 2024-12-17T18:21:02.531Z
        Yeah, but I couldn't use BAA since I was restricting myself to only the vowels E, I, and O!
        • woozy 🤓6:34 · 2024-12-17T23:06:13.147Z
          Oh! The vowel restriction is grid-wide!
      • woozy 🤓6:34 · 2024-12-17T16:30:22.347Z
        Well, I had a laugh at that!
        • MatthewL 🤓8:06 · 2024-12-17T17:20:39.366Z
          Very cute. Thanks Darth!
          • Darth costruttore · 2024-12-17T18:21:48.625Z
            Thanks for solving! The theme was "Down on the Farm"
          • rjy 7:00 · 2024-12-17T17:54:20.153Z
            Really clever, Darth!
            • Darth costruttore · 2024-12-17T18:22:11.610Z
              Thanks, Ray!
            • andeux 🤓2:46 · 2024-12-17T17:55:31.350Z
              Well done. I didn't even notice the vowel restriction. (However recheck one short word in 4D definition)
              • Darth costruttore · 2024-12-17T18:52:04.251Z
                Got it! Thanks for catching that! Funny, I was careful not to use "y" as a vowel or diphthong, so then changed that clue last minute because I originally had "in seismology" (y as a vowel)! Not sure how that "a" got in there! ha ...I've fixed it now, but it may take up to an hour to update! Thanks again!
                • hoover 2s · 2024-12-17T19:15:56.802Z
                  Oh wow, I only just now noticed that the clues are restricted to EIO also!
              • hoover 2s · 2024-12-17T19:13:52.872Z
                LOLZ! I tried three different spellings before I realized I was entering the answer into the wrong puzzle. :facepalm:
                • Darth costruttore · 2024-12-17T20:34:40.784Z
                  Oh no! Glad you figured it out! Lol
                • KayW 🤓9:15 · 2024-12-17T19:56:59.359Z
                  Well done - and an impressive construction. (Hah. I couldn't even write this short comment and restrict myself to E, I, and O.)
                  • Darth costruttore · 2024-12-17T20:34:10.027Z
                    Lol. Yeah, that part was my own self-made challenge. It gets tricky when you realize that final-y is a vowel, too! I changed the clue for Reno from "Biggest Little City in the World"... and there are a few others that I could have done better. Thanks for solving!
                  • InAJelly 8:39 · 2024-12-17T20:10:01.766Z
                    Smells like money! As a native Iowan, I'm glad to see the farmers getting some love! (and some familiar names like the Des Moines Register)
                    • Darth costruttore · 2024-12-17T20:37:02.507Z
                      Awesome! I put that one in there for you! ;) Thanks for solving!
                    • pufferfish 7:18 · 2024-12-17T21:46:46.262Z
                      very cool!
                      • Darth costruttore · 2024-12-17T22:38:59.003Z
                        Thanks.
                      • benchen71 5:53 · 2024-12-17T22:22:01.310Z
                        And here's me thinking the answer was NOAH because there was not a single A in the grid!
                        • Darth costruttore · 2024-12-17T23:53:42.423Z
                          Nice! Lol. Well, Ben, there was NO A or H in the grid, so that might have worked... except that there was also no F, J, Q, U, X, Y or Z. :P
                        • michaelm 🤓6:54 · 2024-12-18T03:38:28.907Z
                          Entire Pinot red wine is opening eight pm ok?
                          • Darth costruttore · 2024-12-18T05:27:09.314Z
                            Yes, it'd be right on! ;)
