MGWCC #824 — “It Takes One”
MGWCC #824 — Friday, March 15th, 2024 — “It Takes One”
THIS WEEK’S INSTRUCTIONS:
This week’s contest answer is a five-letter part of the body.
CORRECTION:
Dear Solver,
In the clue to 8-Across in today's puzzle, "Fred" should be replaced with "William" (so both ice-cream magnates are named William, it turns out).
Not meta-related, just an error.

Great puzzle! I had to make my message longer because otherwise it just looks like a blank area…

On the board at #5. Funny when you know what you are looking for and it still takes a while to find!

Beamed!
Really liked this one. This, plus Mike Shenk's "Flight of Fancy" at WSJCC, has made it an excellent puzzling weekend already.

Would have been pretty high on the list if I'd started on time, but current time zone made that less likely. Grid took longer than the meta (though the grid was a bit tough).
Check out this very cool project by many of your favorite muggles to raise money to fight cancer. You get a fun puzzle bundle and good causes get $. Win-win: Crosswords for Cancer

Awaiting the beam... [Fun one!]
... and I'm beamed at #63.

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!

Awaiting beam, had the right idea but was overcomplicating it. Thanks to @ajk for gently nudging in the right direction.

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!

I think I've got it. There was one last think to make it feel okay. But I think I'm missing something. It's only a 72%er and there are a lot of weak deer trails.
