XWord Muggles Forum

Given there are more than 600 Muggles and this video has only 130+ views, I am willing to venture not many have seen it. See Mike Schenk and Mike Miller as they discuss the evolution of Muggles and the quest for a Mug.

See y'all Thursday!

PS. You may have to 'rewind' to the beginning.

Awesome! I knew nothing about it... Very cool. So, did any of you guys see your posts pop up in this video?

Wow, That is great! I had not seen it before. Love the Isaac clip they got in there at 5:22 -- too funny!

I was at that tournament and am in the video for about half a second.

This is great! Thank you!

When you watch, be sure to go back to the beginning. The link takes you part way through.

From the beginning, if opening in a new browser tab. The Youtube app begins the video shortly before it ends.

Thanks for posting!

Excellent video!! I loved the 'pageant' bit. A puzzle we will not soon forget. It’s nice to see what people look like.

Glad I found this thread. Thanks for sharing.

No worries. Will post, again, TH afternoon for all to see.

Here's a link that starts from the beginning: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ShzxhHyqQ5I&t. Also, if anyone's curious, the grid that he's writing "THE OTHER MUGGLES" in at the very beginning is the Patrick Berry's puzzle "Game Pieces" from Friday, February 21, 2020.

For those of you who cry at weddings, there's a follow-up to the engagement of Amanda and Brendan (seen in the video mentioned above). They had Will Shortz and crosswords (and a meta) at the wedding. Check out the blog on Wordplay (the NYT crossword blog):

I hope the link works. I don't know if you have to have a digital subscription in order to read the article.

Interesting:

The first link opens the video in the YouTube app, well into the video, whether on a computer or phone.

The next two open the app in a new browser tab on a computer, at the beginning, but open the video in the YouTube app on a phone, well into the video.

Some coder can explain it. I won't try!

In any case, a great story!

Unbelievably cool. Thanks for posting

Neato! I'm so happy to have found this lovely cruise group however long ago...

I saw one of mine from about a year ago, after I first joined and prior to this forum starting up.
