Waiting to be beamed up.
Couldn't get it yesterday, but as I was waking up, the mechanism came to me (or so I thought). So I took another look this morning and although my dream was wrong, I got it. Fun solve!

Whew. Made it. My weekend is my own!
Happy to give nudges. If you notice I've solved, please tell me about avenues you've explored so I can nudge you in the right direction and not off a cliff.

Beamed up!
Got it last night just before shutting off the light. Nice to fall asleep without ruminating over the puzzle. Fun one to work through!
And I just got the WSJ! So I'm right there with you @Joe. Weekend is wide open now!

One of my favorite baseball rules! That third video of the Giants getting a run is fantastic.Joe Ross wrote: ↑Sat Mar 16, 2024 1:03 pm Done swanged for the fences with a WAG and was called out due to the Infield Fly Rule.

Got it yesterday afternoon after some conferring on Discus and a little gentle nodding from a solver that I was on the right path. Forgot to come back here and report my beamage. Happy weekend, all!

Just checking back in to say: if you haven’t checked out that link Matt posted to the Negroni puzzle site, DO. If you like variety cryptics. I just spent the whole morning on the one he’s got up now, and it’s fantastic. I don’t know the guy and I have no incentive other than to say… wow.

I have AN answer, but one of the steps to get there I wasn't too happy with. Anyone willing to verify my answer? Thanks.
Edit, got the verification I needed, and glad to know my answer was wrong, as I didn't think that intermediate step was kosher. Continue to be amazed by ALL the different ideas Matt comes up with on a regular basis!

Wondering if something might be wrong with my link. I submitted what I know has to be the right answer long before it was updated but don’t see my name. Also, I tried to resubmit and was able to do it again. Usually that ability goes away. Anyone else have an issue with submitting?
On the board finally!

Now accepting creative/cryptic/playful nudges.

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!

Hopefully I'll beam up in the morning. Not too happy with myself but I got there (I think).
