"Permanent Wave" by Abide

Formerly known as the “Sunday Summer Substitute”, editor Cap'n Rick now takes the helm for 'Smooth Sailing Sundays'. As The Commodores sang about Sunday morning, the SSS will focus on easier metas. SSS will also support smaller grids and will mentor new constructors on request. Puzzles released each Sunday around 8am Eastern. Nudges released same day at Noon Eastern. New constructors are welcome.

"Permanent Wave" by Abide

#1

Post by Abide »

Although we made it to Autumn this weekend, I'm happy to report the SSS will continue on. Since Cap'n Rick got a little artsy with the MMM, I tried my hand with the paint program as well.

The meta answer is a 1966 film.

Sssolved! Nice one, Peter. :-)
Check out "The MOAT Mini Pack of Marching Bands" here. US$5 gets you 7 Marching Bands which, hard enough on their own, now contain metas too. And once again there's a mega-meta! :D

I just printed this out. My first thought is what color highlighter will even show up? And is Peter getting a kickback from the color cartridge makers?

When I opened the .puz file in puzzazz on my phone, it was all messed up. Numbers in squares that should be black (or pink:) and clues not matching anything. But it looks just right in Across Lite on my Mac, and I have sssolved. Nice one, Peter!
If you want help with a meta, feel free to PM me. The more specific you are about what you have and what you want, the more likely I can help without spoiling.

(And if I help you win a mug, I’ll be especially delighted.)

The color gremlins messed with the Puzzazz app on Apple iPhones. I can’t try to fix it until this afternoon.

Whew! Beat the nudges by a hair.... maybe I should have spent my sunday morning working on this rather than writing a long essays in the other thread about my confusion over what "classic brand" is supposed to mean...

Gotta remember theSSSe exist. Every sunday I remember too late.

So much fun, thanks Peter!
NUDGES!I am always willing to give nudges where needed; metas should be about fun, not frustration. Send me what you have done so far because often you are closer than you think!
