MGWCC #810 — Friday, December 8th, 2023 — “Crave Cold”

THIS WEEK’S INSTRUCTIONS:

This week’s contest answer is a six-letter adjective that I hope you’d apply to this meta.


Solve well, and be not led astray by words intended to deceive.

Great puzzle, and beamed up at lucky #7! Now I have other equally important stuff to do, such as:

SSS
MMM
MOAT
MEOW

Fun one! I'm on the board at #23, which I believe is a personal MGWCC best!

Exact opposite for me.

What the ....? Makes no sense at all.

EDIT: Okay, got it. It's done. The world moves on and very quickly forgets. ... your mileage may vary.... (This one will not be making my top 80% list)

EDIT: There I am at #83.... And, oh, look.... I earned a 10 week badge.... be still my heart....

EDIT 3: Hmm.... I solved it. But judging by the way people are describing it, I must be missing something essential. When the deadline passes I hope someone will tell me what it is.

Beamed at #100! One of my favorites in recent memory, just challenging enough to be fun.

#118. I spent about ten minutes with a wrong letter. I knew it had to be wrong, but the path leading to it was very amusing.

Beamed!

Good weekend for fun and challenging, but not TOO hard, metas — with this and WSJCC. Thanks, Mike and Matt!

I missed the discord group solve (which has been an easy crutch as of late) as I started late, so I just had to figure it out on my own. Awaiting the transport to wherever we get beamed to when we solve.

Edit - #135 with a streak of 74
