    Thank you so much for this season of Pandora's Blocks. You've given me lots of Sunday smiles. Have a great summer!
    • boharr 4s · 2021-06-20T15:57:46.715Z
      Another tricky and a terrific season of puzzles.
      • rickybillingsgate 🤓11:58 · 2021-06-20T17:10:55.279Z
        This was tough. Impressive meta.
        • oldjudge 3s · 2021-06-20T16:36:29.910Z
          Great work Will! Sunday’s have become the highlight of my week.
          • Mike D 11:53 · 2021-06-21T12:31:41.256Z
            Very nice! I almost gave up on the meta but gave it another look this morning and... success 🎊. Thanks so much for another awesome season - already looking forward to the next!
            • Sfull411 🤓5:35 · 2021-06-21T23:06:27.249Z
              Great puzzle, Will. Thanks so much and enjoy summer!

                The theme answers are solidly in my wheelhouse but I couldn't get any further with it. I submitted a five-letter guess just to get it over with. 🙄
                • Caroline 🤓8:58 · 2021-09-18T00:03:42.604Z
                  I also couldn't figure out the connection between the theme answers and the correct solution. Is it something to do with 49A? Otherwise I'm drawing a blank (heh).
                  • Byron 🤓24:59 · 2021-10-30T15:53:57.360Z
                    I don't get it either. After seeing the ghost names I found a few configurations of PAC in the grid, but no dice.
                    • Caroline 🤓8:58 · 2021-10-31T03:52:50.539Z
                      I emailed Will and he shared the solution!
                      • Byron 🤓24:59 · 2021-10-31T13:06:50.871Z
                        Even knowing the solution, I don't understand how it's arrived at. Do you?
                        • Caroline 🤓8:58 · 2021-10-31T22:23:42.071Z
                          Yeah, Will emailed the whole explainer. It was really elaborate and I never would have figured it out on my own. The original Japanese names of Pac-Man ghosts are coincidentally also names of American cartoon characters: Shadow, Speedy, Bashful, and Pokey. (1/2)
                          • Caroline 🤓8:58 · 2021-10-31T22:26:52.871Z
                            (2/2) There are four clues in the puzzle that point to each of those alternate characters (e.g., "Mouse user, to a developer"). Mouse = Speedy Gonzales. The first four letters of those answers spells BUGS, another cartoon character.
                            • Byron 🤓24:59 · 2021-11-01T03:21:50.218Z
                              Yeesh! I did end up on the Pac-Man Wikipedia page and saw those other names, but that next leap is a big one. Thanks!
                  • MamaEllen 3s · 2021-06-23T00:00:15.016Z
                    Terrific puzzles this season Will! Thanks 🙂

                      Thanks everyone! You all have given me just as many smiles and made Sundays my highlight as well! Looking forward to putting together the next season of puzzles! :)
