Haven’t submitted, seems like there are two possibilities? Or maybe I’m slightly overthinking it. Apologies if this is a spoiler!

Edit: was overthinking. Submitted and on the board. Back to WSJ!

EDIT: on at #274, so it's that easy.

Oh my gosh, thank goodness it's a Week 1 and a Friday. I still need to go back and figure out how I solved Al's puzzle (and yes, I read all the nudges and I know what I'm looking for. My brain may be legit broken), and then look at the WSJ and Peter's again.

In this week 1 (which I REALLY hope I got right, haha) there was an answer that made no sense to me. I actually had to start typing it into the google search bar before I realized how to parse it. And there really weren't any tricky answers at all, so....Is it Miller Time yet?

Beam me up, always nice to start the new puzzling month with something more low-key!

Fastest I've ever solved a MGWCC - 4:04 - which partially makes up for being totally stumped for a solid 24 hours and counting on the WSJ this week

There are definitely two good answers, especially if you were a mall rat in the 70s-80s.

This was probably the easiest meta I've ever solved. I'm sure by Week 5 I'll be grateful.

that's true, had long forgotten that "drink".
