In at #16. Had a little difficulty with the last part, but overall my rabbit holes had rabbits.

So, I've got eight letters............
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. Maybe a tad easier than last week, but still pretty challenging.

Well, If I got it (and I don't see how I couldn't) that has to be the easiest week 4 ever of all times.
Yes, I know that is the E-word and very naughty and taboo, but.... this was a week 2 at worst. If we do decimals I'd say it was a week 1.75.
EDIT: Beamed at #38.

So I just plain couldn't get my meta based on "Up the Down Staircase" to work.
My challenge it to constructors is to make a meta where the meta, theme or metanism is "Up the Down Staircase".

Awaiting beam.
Brief panic after seeing nothing and reading comments - but ended up being fairly Easy-Peasy, thankfully!
Very clever construction.
Edit beamed! I’ll take top 50 given I was up a ladder, precariously perched on a winding staircase installing a light fixture when the puzzle came out… lol

It would be really interesting to see what people would rank this one - like when Matt did that one week. I'd say 2.5 or so.

Confidently submitted and awaiting a leaderboard update. Solo soooooooolve.
(I hope I’m right or that early celebration will be embarrassing)
Edit: confirmed at #51. Embarrassment avoided.

Beamed up! First solo solve of a Gaffney week 4 (previously did this with a week 4 by a guest constructor). Also first full month of solo solves. I'll enjoy it while I can - I'm sure to return to reality soon enough
