Available by emailing a request to PandorasBlocksWMC[at]gmail[dot]com, these meta puzzles are distributed by email every Sunday. Pandora's Blocks crosswords are intended to spread the popularity of meta crosswords, however, they are not just for beginners and run the gamut it terms of difficulty.
Happy new year to everyone when it comes, until then - another Pandora's Blocks from Will has arrived!
Puzzle #90: Through the Five Hole
As you ponder potential New Year's resolutions, I figured we could spend some time thinking about a different kind of "goal."
Difficulty: Medium
The answer to this week's meta is an NHL team.
You might need Google. This will largely depend on how well you know NHL teams.
Contest Crosswords Combating Cancer (CCCC) is a bundle of 16 contest-style (meta) crosswords that we've created to help raise money for cancer-related organizations - get the bundle at http://crosswordsforcancer.com
Check out "The MOAT MEOW Mashup Pack" here. US$10 for 14 metas that don't always abide by the "rules" of the game: asymmetry, 2-letter words, uncrossed letters, who knows. And this time there's a mega-meta!

I needed help as well. Happy to pay it forward.
I took up the offer and have now solved. Not my wheelhouse, but very clever.
I wonder how many people will just submit every team name till they hit it. Seems there’s always someone.
If you want help with a meta, feel free to PM me. The more specific you are about what you have and what you want, the more likely I can help without spoiling.
(And if I help you win a mug, I’ll be especially delighted.)

I took up the offer also, very neat puzzle, and I learned a thing or two about hockey teams!
Shannon PS: If you want help with a meta, PM what you have so I can help without spoiling too much. I've received lots of help in the beginning and I love to pay it forward!
Dino’d with a nudge… Got the first part but needed a bit of a push to get over the finish line. Clever concept and execution, Will, really enjoyed wrestling with this one!
