Welcome back Will!

I got the mechanism after the meta, which is a fun way to solve a puzzle. We are so glad you’re back, Will! I think of you every time I see a Brazilian pepper bush.

Welcome back, Will -- Sundays just weren't the same without Pandora's metas. A great start to the new season.

The cold, dark days of winter are drearier without a new Pandora's Blocks to look forward to every Sunday. Welcome back, Will!
Welcome back Will! I really enjoyed how you used 75A to get to the answer. I did need hints to get this one.

I see how it builds. A couple of other clues in there as well. Thanks. Will.

Like some others, I have no idea what the mechanism is… just inferred the author from the wording of the clue to 75A (though I don’t know what the clue is referring to in the puzzle!). Huh?? What theme answers? Feeling dense… but glad to have Pandoras Blocks back!

You know, it was not until just now that I saw the Easter Egg in 75A - HEAT TELL TALE...good one Will. Surprised that you didn't warn people about some of the letters being stolen or maybe about being Grade A Beef (i.e. a Sirloin Letter)

Thanks, Will!

This is a fantastic puzzle to lay the foundation for Season 4, Will! Love the revealer wink to EAP's famous tale. And maybe the first 18x14 dimensions I've seen in many years of solving. You keep building 'em bigger and better.

Great puzzle and great to have you back!

Got the correct answer thanks to the indirect reference to the Tell-Tale Heart in 75a, but I failed to see the progression in the themers, simply because I started with the AL in 25a's "BALANCE" and noticed that every other themer also had an AL in there (as does EDGAR ALLAN POE). In order to emphasize the buildup from A to ALLA, wouldn't it have been preferable to have avoided having both an A and an AL in 25a?
Charles Montpetit 🤓2:33 · 2022-04-10T16:21:55.263Z
... and also avoid an AL in 1a's ZALES, which is symmetrically opposed to 75a's revealer, and therefore looks like it's part of the theme, as well?
