Puzzle #91 answer: I WON

Correct entries: 35, with a low meta:solver ratio, so I'll try to go a bit easier for the next few weeks!





@BrennerTJ won with these graphics!

Explanation: The four numeric themers: 91, 81, 61, and 89 all form different numbers when turned upside-down: in order, 16, 18, 19, 68. Take the letters in these squares, U O M I, and then turn this upside-down as one collective entity: the phrase I W O N forms, with me using artistic license to make the "U" into an "N" instead of just making an "N" into another "N." And looks like the Cubbies are turning things around this year!

This should be a Level 2.5/3 or somewhere in there. (Level 2.75, is that a thing?)

92. It's a Breeze

The answer to the meta is a 6-letter word.

Deadline is Saturday, May 4 at 1 pm ET.

Good luck, and may all your solves be beautiful!

Fun puzzle Mikey! Much more fun than watching the Yankees.

Very nice, Mikey!

Much fun. Thanks, Mikey.

Whoops, looks like that did slip my editorial staff (i.e., me, at least for that one, haha). Sorry about that!

TY for the quick reply Mikey, and keep your punny puzzles coming --- they're funnier than Jonesin's! (And I'll root for the Cubbies!)

They look much improved, though! Soto's a good fit, it seems!

Judge is in a horrible slump and their bullpen is very iffy. Soto has been great though--playing at an MVP level.
Your D was a little off today. You gave up two touchdowns and a field goal to Boston .

Mike, I think your difficulty meter may need to be recalibrated. Fun puzzle though!

Up or down?

The only good news is the Brewers gave up five field goals to you guys, so I guess no harm, no foul? But that was brutal.

Blown away by this fantastic meta - thanks Mikey!

So fun! I had two “can it really be that?” moments during the solve. I found a way to apply step one a second time but it only provided three letters. I finally saw the light but had to correct an entry to get to the finish.

Feeling a bit low-tech but delighted I finally solved this nifty puzzle!
Thanks, Mikey! (From a big fan.)
