I never meta puzzle I didn't like. Best of luck to you on this one! I'm thinking Level 2 to start, which apparently means Level 37.

41. TASTES Just Like It!

The answer to the meta is a bar food.

The deadline is Monday, November 7 at 1 PM ET.

Good luck, and may all your solves be beautiful!

You have a time machine, right???

Updated, real date applied, haha.

Funny!

Solved! Some excellent cluing in this puzzle, @MikeyG (as always!)

Got it. Thanks, Mikey.

Amusing indeed! Thanks, Mr. G!

A guy walks into a bar and asks for fruit punch.
The bartender says, “Sure. Just get in line.”

The guy looks over and gets confused. There’s no punch line.

Tasty grid, but level 37 sounds about right for the meta So far I got nothing. I think MGWCC broke my brain.

WSJ broke my ego, that's for sure.

Doh! Finally got it. My brain must be more better now. Here's to MikeyG for yet another fun puzzle and meta!!


(p.s. FWIW revising my difficulty rating from 37 back to 2)

My Before (solving) picture --



Should have included my After picture --

It's time for some sweet, sweet nudges!

1. The fact that TASTES is in all-caps in the title must mean something!

2. Let's treat that as a word in the pattern ABCADC.

3. That probably means something about the letters in the grid!

4. And if the grid isn't giving us much in the way of letters, there's another place to look!

5. There is also an Easter egg in the grid if you caught it to confirm your solution!

Reveal on Monday with a puzzle that following Friday!

Got it. Another fun one. Thanks, MikeyG.

Finally got it. Spoiler 2 sent me on the right path. Fun!

I HATE it when the spoiler tells me "you know that thing you said HUH about, there was a reason". I will never learn to follow my nose.

Nice puzzle and nice pirouette at the end. Enjoyed it as usual. I do have to stop making a 1.2 into a 3 though....

Thanks Mikey, you had me smiling and chuckling as per usual.
