This took me way too long considering that I recognized the anomaly in two entries as I was completing the grid but just considered it clever clue work. Great puzzle Al!!

Finally solved my last CCCC, and it was a good one - thanks, @Al Sisti! It took me too long to see it based on a faulty assumption or two on my part, but I finally got there.

We just got o this today! Took us a while to clean figure out what to do. Very clever mechanism! Thanks for the fun puzzle @Al Sisti! It is rare that we are in the same zip code to solve metas these days so this was a delight to complete on one of the rare weekends that we were together.
