What a fun one! I’m amazed at how Matt can create these puzzles. I finished the grid Saturday and sat it on the table and forgot about it (after an initial look and shrug). Then I glanced at it during lunch today and it smacked me in the face.

Well I think I have it!!! Saw something I had seen before and backburnered that just could NOT be a coincidence. If this is correct I agree with other posters in saying wow, just wow. If not I gave it my all. Have spent hours on this one!
Stay well all

OK, am I overthinking this? Since I found all the creatures, there is an aspect of each and every one that tells me what the answer has to be, but I'm looking for a step 2 that will confirm it.
Should I just go with what I am sure must be the answer? Or is there a step 2?

OK, this is either a Week 2 disguised as a Week 4, or there's a very elaborate mechanism that I'm missing out on. But the answer came to me like within 3 minutes of finishing the grid and that can't be right.
Otoh, I missed the Week 2 puzzle this month so what do I know?

I got a similar PM, picked up the grid, and it was obvious.
submitted, waiting for confirmation.
Thx

you did, but it helped kick me over the finish line.

OK, I'm going to assume it's the obvious one that I keep thinking I need a Part 2 to get.
But if I'm right, Matt is wrong -- I actually have seen not just one, but many of these.

Yup! On the board. This one was particularly satisfying, because a lot of hard work paid off. In the end, it’s a very solid meta.

All I've got so far is eyestrain and migraine. Anyone feeling benevolent will find me a grateful nudgee.

I was PMing and somehow it went public. I have NO idea how that happened.

It's ok, I'm #226 on the board, so I got it.

Well, I just went to Gaffney's site to submit my response, and the submission form is closed. I sent my answer in by email, but maybe he'll re-open the form.

Just submitted my Hail Mary before I forget by tomorrow morning, it's an answer that came to mind way too quickly but just didn't feel quite right, we'll see what the board says...
UPDATE: WHEWWWWWWWWWW!
