LAST WEEK’S RESULTS:

mgwcc379

We were looking for a familiar phrase comprised of two six-letter words last week, and four theme entries in grid told us that BOTH START WITH P, and that
ITS SECOND WORD / IS THE SINGULAR FORM / OF ITS FIRST WORD.

So P????? P????? with a plural and then singular form of the same noun, and 477 clever folks deduced meta answer PEOPLE PERSON from those hints.

It took me longer than it should have, because I am definitely not one!

AK37 makes the week 1’s tougher:

No instructions 3 months in a row!

Jonesy writes:

Similarly, Peter W:

Guessed it would be PENCIL PUSHER after solving 20-Across

ConvolutED is 1-for-1:

First time here. That was really fun!

twodox repurposed my title:

“I like Every [Week] One”

spielekatze had some help:

did this MGWCC with my 18-y.o. daughter – she had fun (and also got the meta)

The meta fit johnstonteacher‘s schedule:

I had better be a PEOPLE PERSON when I meet my high school classes on Tuesday…

Wayne completes his C.V.:

Also, I’m a hard worker, and a real self-starter.

And SteveTheSax sums it all up nicely:

Remember: People who need people persons are the luckiest people in the world …
