"Where's The Rest?" - September 11, 2020

Post by Bob cruise director »

This week's contest is titled WHERE'S THE REST? by Matt Gaffney

The answer to this week's contest is a four-letter verb that I hope this puzzle doesn't make you do.

Great Q&A by the puzzle team

Good luck with the grid and the meta

On the beach.

Went to Zuma Beach in Malibu yesterday, it was refreshingly gray and cool after all the heat and smoky air.

I'm good with that, Peter! In fact I'm thrilled -- we both beat Al Sisti!
Good luck, fellow Muggles!

On the beach. Cute one. Glad it wasn't one of many that it could have been.
