PDF / PUZ


Hello hello! Happy 2026! In related news, do something, Cubbies.

Honored to have last week's wild MGWCC. See Ben's write-up and my tribute to fellow puzzler and GAMES contributor Bob Lodge here.

1. Puzzle #161 answer: TIMES SQUARE

Correct entries: 55


Shortest explanation: Ten clues contain the numbers ZERO to TEN, all going down. Count them down from TEN to ZERO, and take the letter at the end of each entry (so TENANT = T, LONINEHI = I, and so forth). You'll spell out TIMES SQUARE, the answer to this meta and my equally titled inaugural meta I made five years ago this weekend!

2. I'll feed you that this is a bit inferential, but I think it's gettable. We'll start with Level 2 and see how that goes.

Good luck, and may all your solves be beautiful!

The 2-word edible answer to the meta suggested by the grid is in the form (8, 4).
