Meta Prompt
The answer to the meta is someone associated with gold.
Hey, it's Darth here, and I'm excited to take part in "Smooth Sailing Sunday". This puzzle was conceived four years ago as a "wannabe" meta that never fully materialized. This year it crawled out of hiding and got a much-needed makeover...although it still carries an element of the original idea! Need I say more?
Here are some nudges if you're newish to meta solving. They are meant as an S.O.S. (what Cap'n Rick calls "InSSStant Nudges" if you need help right away):
Nudge 1: If you're new to meta solving, general advice is to use your powers of observation. Look for patterns or a common element in the grid.
Nudge 2: Besides pointing to the theme, the title of a meta puzzle can be cryptic or instructive. Sometimes both.
Nudge 3: Long answers in the grid are often helpful to study, especially if they are "themers" (i.e., share the puzzle's theme).
Nudge 4: Sometimes there are clues that offer direct hints, such as 25D in this puzzle. This hint may be cryptic or instructive.
Nudge 5: Sometimes clues offer indirect hints, such as 15A in this puzzle. These are often more subtle or cryptic in nature.
Nudge 6: I did say this puzzle carries an original "element" from my earlier version, right? This element may appear "periodically" in the grid.
Nudge 7: I tend toward a gestalt approach when constructing metas. Among the multiple cues, I'd love to know your path to the answer.
