MGWCC is a combination crossword puzzle and "metapuzzle" (puzzle within a puzzle).〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://puzzles.about.com/od/solvingtips/ss/meta_crossword_puzzles.htm )〕 It is posted every Friday afternoon and solvers generally have until the next Tuesday at noon to submit the correct answer.

The first Friday of the month is about the level of a Monday New York Times Puzzle, where the last Friday of the month is about the Saturday New York Times (or harder) difficulty level. There are prizes awarded weekly and monthly; normally a customized MGWCC pen, pencil and notepad set. Once the weekly deadline passes, Joon Pahk provides a writeup and summary on the (Diary of a Crossword Fiend ) blog where (MGWCC #169 entitled "Moving Day" ) won the 2011 Puzzle of the Year Award〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.crosswordfiend.com/blog/2012/02/26/the-2011-orca-awards/#more-27189 )〕 and Gaffney won the 2012 Constructor of the Year Award.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.crosswordfiend.com/blog/2013/02/24/the-2012-orca-awards-2/ )〕 S
