All right, time to push some more people over the finish line! Last nudges, likely (PM me if you need more, haha).

Ugh! Left in myriad rabbit holes until Nudge 9 pushed me over the top. Shoulda seen it, but sometimes ya just don’t. Fun one, Mikey!

I hadn't heard it before, but I like it! Interwebs claim it is primarily heard in Australia. But I intend to put it to use here in Chicago. I will have plenty of chances to use it at the bridge table, if the source cited here is correct about its usage

A goal for '24 is to make some legitimate Level 1 and Level 2 puzzles, haha.

Late to the party, but I got it with most of the nudges. Thanks for a very fitting puzzle!

Gridmaster T in once again for graphics!
This grid was stuffed as well, with 18 relevant entries in all! Here's how things played out:
1. Four of the entries on the left-part of the grid could be preceded by "LEFT" to make a new phrase; the same holds true for five entries on the top of the grid, preceded by "OVER" (as seen in the graphic!).
2. Play "alternate clues" with those, as seen in the second graphic; arrange these in clockwise order of the LEFT and OVER entries to get their initial letters spelling I'M STUFFED (and I sure am), the answer to this meta.
One of my resolutions for 2024 is to make at least one Level 1 or Level 2 meta each month, haha; I know mine have leaned a bit on the tricky side, and the next few coming up are still of medium-plus difficulty, but I think we all need a few softballs now and again! (The average WSJ rating per my completely unofficial opinions is 2.3 so far.)
Thanks, as always, for solving, and I'll see you on Saturday for #76!
