"Color Code" - July 24, 2020

[Jace54]

Not seeing this one.

[Abide]

No Mozart this week so a very easy swim for me.

[JPMalone]

Gotta sleep on it!

[Larrry]

On the beach. Two in a row. Liked this one. Glad it was a five letter word and not a five digit number.

[MajordomoTom]

Grid, not that bad.

Lots of rabbits, still no holes.

[damefox]

Ashore! I predict this one will play similar to last week's in terms of number of entries and percentage correct. I can't decide which one I think was harder, but obviously if I don't win the mug with odds of 1 in 500 instead of 1 in 1200 then this whole thing is rigged. Rigged, I tell you!

[cbarbee002]

Thought the grid fairly regular. Meta escaping me for now . . . .

[Cindy]

Solved. I think we’ve seen this before.

[boharr]

On shore. Took an early shove because I really wanted to watch baseball tonight (Go Yanks). But, alas, we may have a rainout. Bummer. Goes without saying I won't be submitting.

[Dplass]

Still LAS. I got nuthin'.

[billkatz]

iI'm basking on the shore. I really enjoyed this one!

[Tina]

On shore! Some nifty clues, like 13A and 37A. Still clueless on PGW. Looking forward to week 4 from Matt tomorrow! Goal: solo solve.

[Homer Buckle]

Many rabbit holes but no solution thus far. Must sleep on it, or maybe visit Isaac for some inspiration.

[Laura M]

Yet again I submitted without feeling close to 100%, but I didn't want it to eat up my weekend! I'm sure that part of my method is good, but the resulting 5-letter word doesn't seem to fit which makes me suspicious of the rest of my method. Oh well, at least I did get an actual word this time...

[RobM]

On the beach.

[Eric Porter]

I'm about 98% sure. It's a 5-letter that makes sense, but there's something that's 12D 'n me.

Edit: I was wrong.

We've been having some difficult puzzles recently. If this puzzle has fewer than 1000 correct answers as I suspect it will, that will only be 3 out of the last 9 with more than 1000 correct responses and Missing Links barely made it. I didn't consider that one easy.

[Al Sisti]

A five letter word!

So we've got it narrowed down to that...

According to Mr. G there are 12478 five-letter words. So I got that goin' for me, which is nice.

Gunga galunga... gunga, gunga-lagunga.

Official game-Yanks won 4-1. Cole only allowed one hit.

[Al Sisti]

On shore thanks to my husband, who picked up my puzzle and finished solving the meta as I was washing some dishes.

Sounds like you guys have got this "division of duties" thing worked out just fine.

Big hitter, the Lama — long.
