Nudge 1: Considering the theme is "The Sea" there sure isn't much about the sea in this puzzle
Nudge 2: Maybe all mentions of the theme have been deliberately omitted
Nudge 3: So put the mentions back in....
Nudge 4: It's a meta. So go meta-ing.
Nu…

Order? I'm out of order? You're out of order! This whole [#four-letter word#] puzzle is out of ..... alignment

So I figured this one may be hard but I hope it has a good AHA moment and then (if you remember that this is a standard meta with usual metaisms) you can real it home safely. Once you get the aha, that's where all the difficulty is.
I thought of…
I came across a mention of Maurice Sendak's "Where the Wild Things Are" and thought it'd be a great title for a meta. I think the mechanism is standard but has a slightly original twist to it. But the grid fought me all the way.
So. LET THE…
Difficulty Rating: If you don't have a musical degree and you don't google--- impossible. If you google-- hmmm, I dunno.
Extra Clues to be entered into the grid but in neither across nor down:
A. Father of the New Deal, Franklin Roosevelt, spoke of…
Interior? Exterior? Whatever. The title's not going to give any hints.

Okay. Although the grid might be weird, I really think this ought to be a Week 1.
EDIT: Wow! This is playing harder than I would have thought possible. But I'm not changing my evaluation of it being a week 1.
Nudges: Do I really need to give…
This came about as a snide joke by Dr. Tom. I was nitpicking a matter of measuring distances by the Pythagorean Theorem as is my wont. As it was tedious and pointless, I joked that my next meta would be about .... and ....; two things cliched for…
This began as one of those challenges to self constructions. The answers rather obscure and at first I figured nobody (but Mikey G and Benchen) could possibly get it. But when I wrestled with how to do it, I think I included enough clues to figure…
If we can't figure the theme to this meta let's table it for the time being

CAVEAT WARNING: so for better or worse CrossHare doesn't allow you to save drafts of puzzles so to construct a new puzzle you must either complete and publish or abandon and delete you old draft. As a result one might find oneself 90% done with a…
This meta was motivated by an entry in a recent Pun of a Kind meta. This would be a week 1 if there weren't so many other long entries that look like they should be themers but aren't and if I hadn't gotten so punchy in my cluing. But there should…
