“Where’s Wendy?” That’s the question posed in this week’s puzzle, which marks my debut as an MMM constructor!
Here’s the back-story: Peter Abide asked me to write the clues for a future puzzle he was creating. I declined, explaining that I’d be away that week on vacation. He idly commented that [name of vacation destination] could actually be a pretty good meta. I took his idea and ran with it . . . and here it is.
I’ll be posting a leaderboard and hints (yes, I made sure I will have a good internet connection). Here’s hoping you enjoy this puzzle as much as I did learning the basics of constructing.
Thank you so much to Abide, for his patience with this rookie; to my test solvers, Al Sisti, Cap’n Rick Kennedy, and Boharr, for their feedback; and indeed to all my Muggle friends for your love, good cheer, and support.
Yes, of course there will be a prize for a randomly selected solver. Odds are good it will bear the meta answer.

Congratulations on your first MMM @Wendy Walker . And enjoy your vacation.

OTC!

Congrats, Wendy. I’m impressed with how well you made this work.

Just now printing.. I am so excited!! ( :

aaand - I see it! 100% approve of your selection.

Off the couch.
Enjoy your vacation.
Great debut - thanks for the puzzle!

Very impressive MMM debut, thanks! And a fine choice of vacation spot.

Brava WLW wherever you are. It's so satisfying For both constructor and solver when the mechanism, the title, and the answer all fit together as they of course do here.

Nice one, Wendy. You go, girl!

I got it! Thanks, Wendy, and have a great vacation! Hope you create another puzzle soon!

Well darn Wendy, I'm not seeing it. Maybe time to walk away and come back to it. Love some of your fill though; cheese that is not all there was a favorite, and Yinglish. I'll bet the under 40 crowd had no idea about a sardine can key though!

Finally! @Wendy I'll email you my rabbit holes. Off the couch!

Off the couch! Great puzzle!

Same as the good doctor here. Lots of rabbit holes, mostly shallow, with no toehold whatsoever. Will keep noodling...

I didn't know they still make them that way! Mine have pull tabs.

Two WLWs in single day and both of them gems. Another star has joined the Muggle Constructorverse!

Great job Wendy!

Confirmed OTC. Quite fun and impressive! Thanks Wendy!

Off the couch!
Thought I’d fallen in a rabbit hole but turned into a short tunnel with light at the end.
Thanks Wendy!

OTC! Loved it when the penny dropped. . .
