This week's WSJ contest is titled KNOWLEDGE BASE | By Mike Shenk

The answer to this week’s contest crossword is a group of people.

Knowledge Base spreadsheet

Please note that the WSJ will not be published on Monday February 19th. So you will not be notified that you have won the mug until Tuesday. However the contest closes Sunday night at 11:59 pm. And we will have our normal lamentations for @The XWord Rabbit after midnight on Sunday.

Ashore! Saw one part immediately but was a silly goose about the other for a bit.

I ask myself that all the time (in life and in metas). Good luck, Muggles!

Ashore on the beach or on a sandbar soon to be covered by the tide.


EDIT: I have a candidate for the Rabbit Award.

That was tricky! Ashore.

And just realized there was another piece in this which makes it more clever. Hats off to Mike.

On the beach. Not my fave Shenk puzzle, but that’s just my probably uninformed opinion. I’m happy to be here on page 1 and to have such nice friends on or near the beach. And doesn’t the cabana boy look nice in his new Speedo?

That took me an embarrassingly long time considering I belong to that group of people.

On Naboo. Landed after being waylaid in a space-time continuum. Hey, is that @MikeyG in the crowd?
