Take the dogs for a walk

· Di woozy · Pubblicato 2022-10-18T04:13:29.735Z

Meta Prompt
The meta answer is what my dog does when I take her for a walk (8 letters)
Guess its time to go public with this one as well. This was a very early one of mine. It has quite a few woozyism and it has 4 "painful" clues. They serve a vital purpose and are interesting but they do "hurt". The mechanism is easy but hard to see all the pieces (but it's very symmetric that you might not need them.)
This was an attempt to try the type of meta that seem to me to be very hard to construct. As a result the grid mechanism ratio is a little low. The mechanism might be tough be you may be able to solve without getting all the pieces. The grid is kind of tough but Googling is acceptable. Anyway, dogs are cute. Who doesn't love dogs?
