Will at four years old, I'm thinking --

DINO ME! Liked this one. I had to work at it even after I figured out where to go. My first step was down the wrong path which slowed me down.

Sadly it doesn't say AMERICAN state capitals... otherwise I, too, would be brute-forcing this one. Instead the dino ate me.

Out of the box for the first time in weeks. April has been a cruel month, indeed.

Dino me. Thanks for the puzzle. If only I hadn't misread something wrong three times, I might have solved it much sooner. Might have. MIGHT.

I'll bet I made the exact same mistake you did, Dave.
Fun puzzle and grid, Will!

Fun one, got on board the Dino on my first effort (after the small glitch that Wendy mentioned in her crosshare comment) - which was a relief after frustration on the Friday metas.

Finally got to do this one. It led me on a not so merry chase until the lightbulb went off. I'm out of the box! Great puzzle Will!

Dino me! Nice to get a nudgeless AHA after a recent dry spell… enjoyed it, Will!

Finally got it! I thought sure I had the correct answer but it was shot down in flames. I finally realized that I needed to take it to the next step.

A fun puzzle - especially since, unlike so many recently, I could solve it.
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!

Almost post-enlightenment strikes again. I was typing up a nudge request when it finally clicked. Very nice!

It took me far too long -- looking for metas in all the wrong places. But once I got it, there was the added pleasure of finding a couple of Easter eggs.

Excellent concept that went right over my head with a cute little whooshing sound :-)
