THIS WEEK’S INSTRUCTIONS:

This week’s contest answer is a two-word phrase that’s something to avoid when solving metas.

Solve well, and be not led astray by words intended to deceive.

Had to create the topic so I could post that I am at the top of the leaderboard! Woo-hoo! A little tricky for a week 1, but still nice and simple after lots of crunchy metas of late.

Solved

Yeah, I needed the respite this weekend since I have stuff to do, hahaha. Played a bit like a Week 2, but I think I got it...we shall see!

I agree that it was not as easy as I expected for a week 1, but after a few false starts, I am on the leaderboard.

Beam me up. And props to @docison for being 1st across the finish line. I think I was still replacing the printer toner at 12:07!!

Just crunchy enough! I liked the slightly tougher Week 1. I'm on the board at 60 and thank heavens. After last weeks two stumpers (though I got on Matt's board with a nudge) and this week's WSJ, it was nice to actually to solve one.

Beamed aboard. Should have gotten it faster, but was oversimplifying instead of overcomplicating for once.

Got it, after making a dumb grid mistake. Also, I always forget to try (can't say) when stuck, and when I did that, all was clear.

Fun one!

Waiting for my beam-up (JUST refreshed, so it might be a while).

You know it’s a week 1 when you get a late start and there’s already 79 people ahead of you.

Fun week 1. Maybe a week 1.25-1.5, not that I’m complaining.

Hah! Got one early for a change

More steps than usual for a Week 1, but thankful it won't be a weekend slog.

Solved. Nice week 1.

Whoo Hoo #74, that may well be as high as I have ever been. I know, I know. don't gloat over a week 1, but hey I'm not getting very far with Mr. Gaffney's other puzzle on WSJ so I might as well take my victories where I can.

Beamed up.

Beamed up on this one after whiffing on everything else this week….

Phew! Confidence (mostly) restored.

Energize.

It feels like it's been a while since I correctly solved a meta so I was looking forward to a nice easy week one, but unfortunately I am stuck. I think I'm most of the way there, so I'm going to take a break and hope for post enlightenment.
