86. Ingenious Quiz

PDF / PUZ

Hello hello! Gorgeous weather, at least for the region! And the Cubs signe Bellinger, and I'm very happy with what I've seen so far in spring training. Our new pitcher Imanaga takes the mound today - wish us luck!

Winter Solvestice's last puzzle will be Saturday, March 30, when we will return to every other week until the summer. Now onward to start the month!

1. Puzzle #84 answer: QUANTUM LEAP

Correct entries: 45, with this leaning toward a Level 4, after all!




Shortest explanation: A bizarre, asymmetrical grid only meant I had a brutal time filling this one for some reason. You'll see 7 UPs toward the bottom, and if you heed the prompt and jump up - even beyond the grid - you'll find an alternate entry that satisfies with clue once you append an initial letter (i.e., CUPS = "Medicine cabinet sight," and TIPS can become Q-TIPS). All seven of these initial letters spell QUANTUM, and the title and mechanism suggest QUANTUM LEAP, our meta answer!

2. A pretty straightforward WSJ and MGWCC this week, and I'll continue that trend with a Level 1.5 to kick off the month.

Good luck, and may all your solves be beautiful!

The answer to the meta is a 2-word television title.
