- Cindy Heisler 1s · circa 2 anni faFinally! A couple wrong submissions and then when I submitted Barrie and that was wrong, I was really confused. I put it down and when I came back I noticed the J and M. A very enjoyable puzzle even if I did need Google for some of the grid. Thanks, Peter and Wendy. Oh my gosh! Peter and Wendy -- it just hit me. Who better to construct a meta about Peter Pan!

I was hoping there would be a delayed “aha” on the constructor byline!- dplass 11:13 · circa 2 anni faGroan!
- DrTom 6s · circa 2 anni faAnd here I thought that it was just the RUDE/RABBLE (instead of DUDE/DABBLE) that was the tie in to Peter. But soooo cool. Peter and Wendy. I'm surprised you didn't try to sneak in Nana.
- wendy walker 14s · circa 2 anni faReally glad you noticed! Thanks for solving, Cindy!
- Bbaack 19:08 · circa 2 anni faAah, now I understand the title. (Captain) Hook'ed on Metas! Well done!
- wendy walker 14s · circa 2 anni faHonestly, Peter and I didn't even notice that "click" in the title until Al pointed it out!
- Abide editore · circa 2 anni faHuh? I noticed it...
- Tyrpmom 2s · circa 2 anni faFun one!
- wendy walker 14s · circa 2 anni faWe had fun constructing it, too! Glad you liked it!
- I K Snamhcok 2s · circa 2 anni faGot it, with a nudge. Fun! Thanks, Peter and Wendy!
- wendy walker 14s · circa 2 anni faYou're welcome! Glad you enjoyed it!
- Meg 2s · circa 2 anni faI tried Tinkerbell. I thought the Peter and Wendy angle was very cute!
- wendy walker 14s · circa 2 anni faEven "Darling," one might say! Glad you spotted that, Meg!
- hoover 2s · circa 2 anni faI saw the PAN and Peter and Wendy and THE LOST BOYS and just started plugging in various Peter Pan-related names until one of them worked. I still have no idea about the metanism. I tried James Barrie before I remembered he went by his initials.
- Abide editore · circa 2 anni faThere are eight lost "boys" in the grid, starting with Jersey.
- DIS 🤓8:27 · circa 2 anni faActually, nine -- the last Little Women book was "Jo's Boys".
- wendy walker 14s · circa 2 anni faOMG! I missed that one completely! Huge props for knowing LMA so well.
- DrTom 6s · circa 2 anni faActually if you include Jo's Boys there are 16, and I have the Google Rabbit Searches to prove it.
- Abide editore · circa 2 anni falol-- I saw the screenshot of the "famous" Bambam Boys and Usher Boys
- DrTom 6s · circa 2 anni faAlmost as well known as the 1980's R&B Rude boys or the single song, Rough Boys. Heck I didn't even mention the Boys from Biloxi.
- Abide editore · circa 2 anni faAll the boys are singular-- read the clue: Rihanna's "Rude Boy" hit #1, and ZZ Top "Rough Boy" peaked at #22.
- whimsy 17:45 · circa 2 anni faI was really liking Barrie from the start but ART, LES, AL, MAC, LOU, ED, LEE, YUL, COSMO(?!) weren't getting me there. Then saw the JERSEY, MAMAS, etc. connection -- but those ALOU boys knocked me off kilter for a bit! :) Wonderful the way the whole Neverland theme tied together in a rather meta way!
- wendy walker 14s · circa 2 anni faThanks for solving!
- DebbieC 🤓17:50 · circa 2 anni faLoved the puzzle. 15A (Meta)DATA had me going for a minute. Then the M & E had me thinking SMEE for a sec. THEN the double J (JERSEY/JOS) confused me, but JMBarrie panned out. Nice challenge; thanks.
- wendy walker 14s · circa 2 anni faSo glad you enjoyed it! As I told DIS above, I completely missed the Jo's "Boys."
- DebbieC 🤓17:50 · circa 2 anni faI also got hung up on finding a JAMES or JIM connnected to Peter Pan but NEVER found one, then i LANDed on JM.... see what I did there? :)
- Abide editore · circa 2 anni favery good!
- JM 🤓14:31 · circa 2 anni faI was lost, too, for quite a while. Nice one!
- Abide editore · circa 2 anni faAnd you with a JM head start on the meta answer!
- JM 🤓14:31 · circa 2 anni faHappy to see it Pan out!
- wendy walker 14s · circa 2 anni faThanks for solving!
- Carolyn 3s · circa 2 anni faSaw the Peter Pan connection right away and submitted a couple wrong answers before the light dawned. Nice puzzle! Loved Peter and Wendy!
- wendy walker 14s · circa 2 anni faYeah, that was a nice touch, huh!
- Bird Lives 4s · circa 2 anni faI too jumped the gun and guessed Peter Pan just from the title, constructors, and one long entry. It took some tinkering around in the grid to find the missing boys. Now that the picture is clear, I wonder why I never before noticed the family resemblance between Peter and Mary Martin.
- Bird Lives 4s · circa 2 anni faAlso, FWIW, when I was in my twenties I had a girlfriend whose father's cousin was Peter Pan, i.e., the kid Barrie based the character on.
- Meg 2s · circa 2 anni faHa ha!!
- Teamdoubletow 6s · circa 2 anni faWoohoo! You are perfect collaborators for this one. Glad we didn't have to walk the plank!
- wendy walker 14s · circa 2 anni faSo glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for the kind words.
- michaelm 🤓4:26 · circa 2 anni faBoy oh Boy what a wonderfully thought out and well executed meta. Really worth the AHA! Thanks for the magic Wendy and Peter.
- wendy walker 14s · circa 2 anni faYou are so welcome! I'm really glad you had fun with it!
- LesY 3s · circa 2 anni faSolved without nudge. Enjoyable and nuanced use of this mechanism, with a little puzzle-hunt craftiness to boot. Well done, Abide and Wendy!
- wendy walker 14s · circa 2 anni faThank you so much!
- Darth 🤓9:23 · circa 2 anni faLoved this one! Thanks Peter and Wendy!
- wendy walker 14s · circa 2 anni faSo glad you enjoyed it, Darth!
- rjy 3s · circa 2 anni faGot stuck in the rabbit hole that every letter of the alphabet appeared in the grid except for W... you know, the Wendy Walker W. How could that not be a thing??? Next rabbit hole? Deep dive on all the variations of names of the Lost Boys... one pair is referred to as The Twins, and with BAMBAM, YESYES, YAYA symmetrically placed at the top - along with 12 other pairs - surely that's a thing, no?? Needed the nudges (dang it!) but thoroughly enjoyed the journey. Thanks, Peter and Wendy!
- wendy walker 14s · circa 2 anni faYou are so welcome! It was totally inadvertent that "W" did not appear anywhere in the grid. Kinda blows my mind, too!
- Snood 2:24 · circa 2 anni faFun puzzle. I thought something was off when Peter's name was missing but it did take me a few looked to see all the Lost Boys! Well done!
- wendy walker 14s · circa 2 anni faI wondered the same thing and almost said something to him until I realized why.
- Abide editore · circa 2 anni faThat is the normal Joe Ross pdf procedure. Main byline uses the xwordmuggles forum name.
- woozy 🤓23:32 · circa 2 anni faI guess I was 2/3 of the way there since monday. I saw Pan, Hook, and the Lost boys and submitted Peter Pan early (although I knew I had to be more to it). I looked for boys name but couldn't find any that didn't seem coincidental. The Meta-data clue was more convincing then the Peter pan one so I tried pursuing that-- looking at clues that refer to data infomation or the clues themselves but that was too vague.Being told on Tues that 38A was important I notice JERSEY BOY and MAMAS BOY and following that I got the letters JMBIE and could make any sense out of it.I'm afraid I have never heard of RUDE BOY or ROUGH BOY.I had tried considering other names of male characters of Peter Pan but Tootles, Nibs, Slightly, or Curly seemed to weak to carry a puzzle.Reading Wednesdays nudges and seeing R's I figured maybe I could try the JM Barrie as it hadn't occurred to me and it seemed to fit with the JMBIE. Altar boy just eluded me in the natural ways.Very cute that the constructors were Peter and Wendy. That had escaped me.
- wendy walker 14s · circa 2 anni faSo glad you solved, Woozy!
- woozy 🤓23:32 · circa 2 anni fa6D. It's funny but not only does Oda have a Macron, but it would seem that Macron has an Oda (https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/interest/2021-07-27/one-piece-eiichiro-oda-draws-original-illustration-for-french-president/.175567)
- Ergcat 17:37 · circa 2 anni faGot it with the nudges! Good one, Peter & Wendy!
- KayW 🤓14:21 · circa 2 anni fajeez loueez I made that hard. Peter or Peter Pan was my first WAG based on the title and 38a alone. It took me forever to find all the lost boys in the puzzle. Very clever. And what an appropriate theme from Wendy and Peter!
- Capn Rick 13:52 · circa 2 anni faAy sir, hoisted on my own petard! Well done Peter and Wendy! I told Peter on Monday that I detected a distinct J. M. Barrie flavor - not knowing that was ultimately the answer.
- Abide editore · circa 2 anni fa
- Sharkicicles 1s · circa 2 anni faI was wondering why the byline wasn’t PETER Abide. So clever!
- Qmark 3s · circa 2 anni faAfter filling out the grid on Monday, had to let things simmer for a few days, but finally got it today with no use of nudges. Thanks Peter and Wendy!
- Michael 47:48 · circa 2 anni faNice puzzle! Thanks so much.
- ReB 6s · circa 2 anni faNicely constructed. Needed another nudge as google had led me astray with errant ________ [boy] answers.
- Abide editore · circa 2 anni faerrant boy--heh
