NOTE: The clues on the regular PDF are a bit small this week, so I’m sending along both the regular one plus a bare-bones version whose clues are a little larger. Use either one you prefer (not a meta trick! Just don’t want to strain your eyes).
THIS WEEK’S INSTRUCTIONS:
This week’s contest answer is a six-letter word.
Do they have a senior citizens version?

On the board with assistance. Looks like I had the Easter badge already, so I snuck in ahead of those waiting to post on Sunday.

Beamed aboard since I already have the Easter badge. I never found a solid confirming click but that had to be the answer. I saw one comment on Discord that made the thing I was trying to do work. So, not a solo solve but I will take it for a fifth week puzzle.
My avatar proves that it is sometimes better to be lucky than good!

Picked up the Easter badge the same way I picked up all but one or two of them—before I knew they existed.
So submitted after getting a vital tip from Discord.

Finally put the pieces together, although I realized I went about it the hard way! I've set an alarm so I hopefully don't forget to beam up tomorrow for the badge.

Off to a late start on this one. Unsurprisingly looks like a brick wall.
I've already written my retaliation meta.

Not a meta, but, yeesh!, that was tough to create.

Solved after going down an animal hole, dug by something far more terrifying than a wabbit… but @ajk pulled me from its clutches and I found my way safely to the tractor beam.

A true week 5. Never would have gotten it.

And I was *so* proud getting a solo solve last week. Alas.
Would love a very cryptic nudge if anyone’s around!

I have submitted solo and am awaiting the beam. I have one piece I am unsure of, but everything else fits tightly. However, with a Week 5, I am wary.

Beamed - after bidding farewell to Peter Cotton Tail, hopping down the bunny trail.

One needs an invitation. I've sent you an invite.
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!

Wait, 23, 45 or 12?
I also speak better Gaffnese than Shenkish but I didn’t even bother filling this one out, too busy with multiple holiday things and at this point I’ll be shocked if I actually get a week 5 since I don’t know if I ever have got a “true” 5 as opposed to a makeup from a harder earlier week.
On the plus side, I have a lot of leftover pierogi (Varyenky)…
