MGWCC #730 - “Just Putting It Out There”
MGWCC #730 — Friday, May 27th, 2022 — “Just Putting It Out There”
THIS WEEK’S INSTRUCTIONS:
NOTE: Due to the late post, the deadline for solving today’s meta is 4:00 PM ET on Tuesday, May 31st.
This week’s contest answer is a famous athlete whose name is 12 letters long.
Solve well, and be not led astray by words intended to deceive
--Matt
Peter Gordon’s A to Z Mini-Crosswords:
9 days to go on the Kickstarter for Peter Gordon‘s A-to-Z “Petite Pangram” puzzles. I backed for $52 which means I got to choose a word in one of the grids.I forget what I picked but it was something obnoxious like ZZZZZZZZZZZ just to make him work for it. Anyway, these are great fun so consider pledging.

I like when Matt is late. It allows me, not a morning person, to make it into the top ten.

Ditto. And I had the exact right idea of where the next step was. Several times so far.

If by step 1, you mean knowing that it's a puzzle I'm in the same place. If you mean anything else I got to step Zero and have no idea what the next step is.

If there is a typo - 18*-letters versus 12 - I've solved.

At this point it's simply a question of what will come first: next Tuesday at 4pm, or the ascendance to fame of an athlete named LPVSIC DPTLTA. Only time will tell.
