118. You're Out of Your Element
Hello hello! Kyle Tucker is now a Cub! Honestly, he was under the radar for me for the last few years - but the North Side is super-excited, so I can't wait to see what he does in '25!
The Winter Solvestice continues today, with a special bonus puzzle below!
---
1. Puzzle #117 answer: FELIZ NAVIDAD
Correct entries: 60 - solid Level 2!
Shortest explanation: Five across clues cross-reference the CHRISTMAS DAY spanner (COLD, SCHOOL, BOOK, WINTER, SHOE); per the SPANISH CLASS themer, translate these into Spanish! They become FELIZ, INVIERNO, LIBRO, ESCUELA, and ZAPATO; these initial letters spell FELIZ, a nod toward the apropos title FELIZ NAVIDAD, which answers the meta!

2. This one is a Level 4, at least. This might not always be the case but, because it's Level 4, I have a bonus Level 2 afterward, just if you want a bit of a respite! The metas are independent of each other; this bonus mini-meta will be outside typical numbering (so 118b, I guess!) and will only be on Crosshare, so no files for it.
Good luck, and may all your solves be beautiful!
