Pun of a Kind

  PDF  /  PUZ I'm typing this up while watching my beloved Cubbies during their first spring training game! Have to get used to that pitch clock, that's for sure! --- 1.  Puzzle #48 recap Puzzle #48 answer:  HEART OF GOLD Correct entries: 49 Write-up is  here ! --- 2. The incomparable Will Nediger gave great feedback on this one, calling it "really elegant" and, more importantly, "ridiculous" (but in a good way). That's all you can hope for! It was not a Level 2  or 2.5  to create, but I think it should be to solve! Best of luck, and may all your solves be beautiful! Mikey G The answer to the meta consists of two 7-letter words.

PDF  /  PUZ Thanks to a fellow MGer giving me a shout-out, I send a welcome to all you new solvers! My posting schedule is a bit erratic at times, but I have a bonus midi-meta about halfway through the month (so today would qualify!), as well as a main meta on the last Saturday of the month. 1.  Puzzle #47 recap Puzzle #47 answer:  CHOWDER Correct entries:  53 Write-up is  here , though it's pretty self-explanatory from the grid. SAD indeed! --- 2.  It's a bit of a visual meta this time, and I give super shout-outs to both Peter and Claudia for their amazing feedback on this one! Seems like I've been in a Level 2.5  groove as of late, and that's what this one will likely be as well. Best of luck, and may all your solves be beautiful! Mikey G The answer to the meta is a 3-word phrase visually depicted in the grid.

PDF  /  PUZ Great minds think alike! And so do ours, haha. In response to POAK (I guess that's the acronym for this site) #47, good friend and fellow muggle Peter Abide drafted up this gem, which you can find below! It marks the first guest puzzle on my blog, and I am humbled! Fun fact: We both love soup. --- I'm guessing about a Level 2  for this, though it did take me a moment, and then I was like, "Oh, of course." Best of luck, and may all your solves be beautiful! Mikey G The answer to the meta is soup-er (it's a type of soup, folks).

PDF  /  PUZ There's a great bird flying across the sky, so you know what that means! It's time for the superb owl! Hmmm? What? Oh, yeah, Super Bowl. I get those confused. We know it's the Chiefs and Eagles, and I don't think the Eagles have been as tested this year. The Chiefs gave us two great games against the Jaguars and the Bengals, so that's my pick for Super Bowl LVII! Don't worry, this meta has nothing to do with sports. 1.  Puzzle #46 recap Puzzle #46 answer: PENGUIN Correct entries: 48 Write-up is here ! --- 2. I'm thinking this one will play as a Level 2.5  - I think you'll either see it right away or it might take you a little bit. Best of luck, and may all your solves be beautiful! Mikey G The answer to the meta is soup-er (it's a type of soup, folks).
