Not yet. I usually don't get to this one until later in the week.

I have to agree with MMe. As a constructor I cannot fathom HOW he did what he did. I mean, sure, I know how he would start, but the amount of constraints and the "nope that won't work" issues he must have had. His puzzles are always very well done, and this one was really not all that hard (though the fill got a bit testy given his constraints) but the mastery it took to build it😮
NUDGES!I am always willing to give nudges where needed; metas should be about fun, not frustration. Send me what you have done so far because often you are closer than you think!
