"Connect Four" - December 4, 2020

[haari]

Early Thursday evening and safely ashore... now what am i gonna do with my long weekend?

[ALS]

Ashore. Even easier than last week.

ALS

[dk letter]

Quick solve. And tomorrow is MGWCC week 1. I will have free time this weekend!

[mflaminio]

I got it and I can't believe it. Ashore!

[BarbaraK]

I had deja vu while solving the grid, so of course I had to hunt down what I was thinking of. Meta mechanism was totally unrelated, but that didn’t stop me from looking for something like the old puzzle instead of noticing the obvious in the current one.

On shore now. Cheers, everyone!

[joequavis]

Ashore!

[Larrry]

Not sure if its more enjoyable to find it on the first path or have to really work for it. On the beach.

[Softie]

Aha -- now I'm ashore.

[Streroto]

Ashore. Quick and fun.

Stay well all!

[cbarbee002]

Ashore - - prob one of the quickest solves for me. Make mine a Stagg Jr.!

[Cap'n Rick]

Ashore! A Manhattan for the Cap'n, please!

[bhamren]

Ashore - will be crowded this week.

[JAQT]

Ashore! And slightly astonished to be there (so probably on the easy side).

[mattythewsjpuzzler]

Started down a big rabbit hole, realized too complex, came back to reality and now safely ashore. Scotch neat Isaac!

[SusieG]

Ashore. Both relieved to have solved, but disappointed to have solved so quickly. I guess it’s better than scratching my head on Sunday night, which has been the case for far too many recent Sundays.

[mattythewsjpuzzler]

Got it. Actually nice to do it in Across Lite instead of the app.

There may be some controversy about this answer.

Agreed

[Dplass]

Ashore. Remarkable construction.

[sanmilton]

Got it!

[Franklin.Bluth]

On shore! (No 40D needed this week.)

[FKelly]

On the beach. Clever and easy, what a wonderful combination!
