24. Comedy Central (Meta 9)

PDF / PUZ

This is turning into a meta-fest pretty quickly, haha - but since there's becoming a greater overlap between this blog and the Muggles forum, I don't think you guys will mind!

Here's a bonus meta before I go TEACH again, which was our meta answer for the past puzzle! (Note we're still on track to have one at the end of August also!)

 

1. August #1 recap

June answer: TEACH

Correct entries: 13

Winner: hoover - congrats!!

We literally went back to school on this one, as each longer entry had five schools scattered throughout the entries, written backward.

DRAWFORTH = HOWARD

CITYBLOCK = COLBY

INAROUNDABOUTWAY = AUBURN

NOVELIDEA = ELON

HELPMEOUT = TEMPLE

The first letters of the theme entries are HCAET, which - of course - spelled backward is TEACH, which is what I will once again do beginning this upcoming week!

Hoover, the winner, mused on why I included those five schools. The short answer: They were the only ones that worked, hahaha. I went through about thirty short colleges or so and brainstormed; I was going to do STUDY, but "U" was one of the letters that had virtually no schools that I could see.

2. Today's puzzle has a Level of 1 of 5 and is really just an excuse to show off my "humor."

Good luck!!

The missing member is the answer to this meta.
