Pun of a Kind

For those of you who loved my first attempt at a meta, you're out of luck for this one, haha. First 17-by-17, though, which I haven't made since last year (har har - or ever). A few things of note as we start 2021: 1. I thank all of you for the kind feedback and constructive remarks you've given me on my puzzles so far. Unbeknownst to me, a thread here developed over my first attempt at a meta, including perhaps the unfair misdirect I gave in the title. The premise was that the four words in the middle - SAVERS, SHARES, SHEETS, and STAMPS - could all be preceded by the word "TIME" to make a valid word or phrase (time saver, timeshare, time sheet, and timestamp). And since they all form a square, it's a TIMES SQUARE (groan), the answer to the meta (note that the title was a reference to the famed ball at Times Square quite literally moving downward for the end-of-the-year countdown). If I ever do another one again, I'll make sure to have test-solvers...or...

Hello, puzzlers! One year ago, I had no idea what a meta even was - and so here's my first attempt at one! The answer to this meta is a place. If you think you have the answer, you can e-mail me at mrgraczyk at gmail dot com, and...I have no idea what you win yet. The satisfaction of a job well done, haha. We'll run this until the first of the year, I think. Sound good? Great! I hope all of you had a very merry Christmas and a happy holiday season! PDF / PUZ  

What's that? You want another puzzle before Christmas? Don't mind if I do! A special shout-out to Adam Nicolle , romkd, and Stephanie (who has a blog coming soon, I hope!) for test-solving the insanity. PDF / PUZ

It's a Christmas miracle! A festive, pun-laden romp just in time for the holidays. PDF

Hey! I'm Mike. I'm a neophyte constructor. I don't know what I'm doing, but I'm trying. This is the first puzzle I made, so it will hold a special place in my atria and ventricles.  PDF
