Revenge of the SiXth

#1

Post by Darth »

Okay, so we know that Jedi fans love to geek out and celebrate May 4th as National Star Wars Day (exchanging "May the Fourth Be With You" greetings and memes), but TODAY marks the "Revenge of the SiXth" -- to honor the Sith Lords and all the glories of the Dark Side.

With that in mind, here's to a deliciously wicked meta (MMM), the answer to which is an 8-letter adjective...

Note: No knowledge of Star Wars is needed. For the faint of heart, here is the plan of attack: You need to "seek and destroy" 8 letters in the grid. ...and if AFTER trying, you need MORE help: these 8 letters are located symmetrically in the grid, helping you find them more easily.

Mwahaha! The couch had been vacated!! Victory is mine!!!
[Fun puzzle, @Darth :D]
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! :shock:

Well. It's not what I can't believe it isn't.

I've got a nice retaliation mechanism in mind if it continues to not be what I can't believe it's not.

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

Definitely needed the first hint, no way I'd have gotten there without it. But fun stuff once I had that. Thanks. :)

@Darth , can we still be friends if a) I've only seen the first Star Wars (Episode IV) and b) spent the entire time waiting for Yoda to appear (he doesn't)?

Sure, @MikeyG, if you like Xwords, that's geeky enough for me! 8-)

OTC with the help of the first nudge. Smelled something, but might not have solved without that nudge.

Got this (nudgelessly) earlier today, arriving at the solution and only then discovered how clever it actually was! Always love seeing the extra layer even when missing it along the way. Really great, Darth!
