Water, Water, Every Where (Meta)

· Di benchen71 · Pubblicato 2023-01-03T05:00:16.600Z

Meta Prompt
The answer to the meta is two words
Happy new year, everyone! I can't think of anything to say about this meta puzzle, except to say that you are looking for a two-word answer. Bon chance! Answer & explanation: https://www.xword-muggles.com/viewtopic.php?p=117027#p117027
Check out "The MOAT Mini Pack of Marching Bands" here: https://www.ephesusscroll.com/about/interest4.html. US$5 gets you 7 Marching Bands which, hard enough on their own, now contain metas too. And once again there's a mega-meta!

    That was alot of fun. Good clues, grid and a solvable meta. Thanks, Ben.
    • Alex Sisti 3s · 2023-01-03T06:22:16.248Z
      Nice!
      • woozy 10:50 · 2023-01-03T06:57:42.013Z
        This was fun but.... didn't you do this mechanism before? I certainly seems familiar. I don't think I'd have gotten it this quickly if you hadn't done it before.
        • benchen71 costruttore · 2023-01-03T08:55:36.658Z
          There was a recent MEOW with the same mechanism. But this one was definitely created before that, since it was part of the 1st Pre-release MOAT Pack!
        • Cindy Heisler 2s · 2023-01-03T11:46:26.430Z
          Fun puzzle to start my morning. Thanks, Ben.
          • Meg 5s · 2023-01-03T13:37:24.562Z
            It’s kind of sad when my first idea turns out to be the right answer. The fun is over just like that. Thanks for a lovely puzzle, Ben.
            • boharr 6s · 2023-01-03T14:18:20.744Z

                    Very nice! This chemist appreciates an H2O puzzle! Thank you, Ben!
                    • hoover 3s · 2023-01-03T16:07:37.258Z
                      Nice one! It was only after I solved the meta that I realized that the 72A clue is a hint for the meta.
                      • Darth 🤓7:56 · 2023-01-03T16:31:55.484Z
                        Happy new year! Thanks, Ben.

                          "I fear thee (not quite so) ancient foreigner." Liked the poem (actually even read the whole thing years ago) and of course the mechanism. I was all ready to start looking for other names for albatross and things related to weddings when I got to clue 72A. Of course at clue 65D I started looking for letters in a V shaped pattern...I'm never one to let a perfectly good mechanism go uninvestigated. Thanks Ben
                          • Carolyn 5s · 2023-01-03T17:11:32.066Z
                            Very nice. My first thought worked!

                              I confess to a bit of a leg up too; but good fun as always! Thanks, Ben! (And thanks for introducing me to Purl!)

                                    Fortunately I didn't have to wade in too deep to get this one. Fun fill and meta, thanks Ben!

                                          a nice “I’m sick of working… what can I do for fun?” afternoon pick-me-up. THanks Ben!

                                            This was just the right level for us to deal with after the first day of work after vacation! Happy New Year!

                                              I got caught on the one double-letter (IN), but otherwise, nice meta. I'm pretty sure we've seen this metanism recently but hey, maybe I learned something.

                                                    72A was a most efficacious nudge. I was hoping from the title (and 40A) that the answer would be ANCIENT MARINER, but that didn't quite work out. Nice way to start off the year.
