Well I have a ten letter word that fits the clues but didn't use any process to get the letters - same as every week - so its probably wrong but its what I'll probably submit.

Ashore! We were delayed getting started because our local internet has slowed to a crawl with all the stay-at-homes streaming content. We enjoyed the fun diversion. In other news, a highlight today was that after Anita was appointed to an interim 19-month term as one of our local township supervisors, the township manager and a notary public came to our front yard to notarize her oath of office from an appropriate social distance and to talk about how she can video conference for future meetings.

On shore! A quick solve but clever construction. Stay well, fellow muggles.

Done with the grid but grinding on the meta. Seem to have pieces of the rabbit but they aren't assembling as I figured. Onward!

Nice. Once you realize what's going on it unravels fast, but is nonetheless fun.

MGWCC will probably be super hard this week so I'm glad I got PGWCC and WSJCC out of the way early.

Edit: Forgot to say the magic words again. Ashore.

Posting that you haven't gotten the puzzle really does help! Ashore!

Ashore. 95% sure it's the right shore. Stay safe all.

Been trying something but Iā€™m not getting anywhere. I'm stumped for now. Tomorrow is another day. I can't even guess at a ten letter word still either. Hmmm

Ashore but maintaining a safe social distance. Is this really a 4th week puzzle? Perhaps it's a gift to all the shut-ins.

Ashore. Took a little while, but setting it aside and relooking at it periodically helped a lot. Brain needs time to regroup.

WSJ Friday puzzles do not necessarily get harder over the course of the month, unlike MGWCCs.

Got it!
It's actually the kind of meta I enjoy the most. I had the right idea from the start but it took me a while to put it all together.

Well, solved the grid and have some ideas but nothing solid. I thought I saw a bunny but I could not pin him down. Every time I got within 6 feet of him he sprayed me with sanitizer...

I am constantly amazed at the people who just look at these and go, "oh there it is" - obviously a lot more analytical than I am.

Happy to get my toes in the sand on Thursday. This was the first time I printed out the pdf. The ample border on an 8.5x11 sheet makes a great workspace.

I have slept on this enough.

Call me on shore.

WSJ doesn't get harder by the week. That's MGWCC's thing.

Also, I'm still stuck. I have bits and bobs but no answer yet.
