"Tennis, Anyone?" updated
🕑 Added 2023-08-02 09:44:28 +0000 UTCA small correction has been made to the pdf and links for "Tennis, Anyone?", the August monthly reward. We have had plenty of correct answers in already, so the small error wasn't stopping anyone, but this document, specifically puzzle 5, has now been corrected.
Thanks to various solvers who pointed out the slip!

Does the answer check for the meta puzzle work? I got the correct solution for all the puzzles and I've triple checked all my answers but it always tells me that the letters I enter are not correct. I don't want to start solving an anagram when I don't know whether I have the correct letters.
I got super confused by this too, if you look at the pdf again each puzzle has a star in a cell

In the metapuzzle, I'm unclear on the meaning of "The order must be determined by looking at the stars." What stars is this referring to?
Hey, I guess I'm not understanding something about the meta puzzle, because I'm completely lost. I'm not a native english speaker, so please explain to me what's going on. I have all the correct letters for the anagram, but is there something I'm missing? Is the "hint" a pun? Is there something specific to british culture that I need to know to solve it? Is it a literal "name of a person", or something with a double meaning? Edit: It's a literal person's name, there's hints in the Discord server.
Ditto Jeff; Had a go at # 3 & 4 today but they've both beaten me so far. In #4 cannot even place a first digit with certainty lots of pencil marks though!!
