Got it! Had a heck of a time with the grid, but once that was sorted out, the meta fell into place pretty quickly. Pretty clever all around.

Relieved to be on the beach. Sports two weeks in a row plus superheroes in MMM?! Next week I want gardening, grammar, Lord Peter Wimsey, cookie baking, and knitting, please!
Good luck, fellow Muggles!

Hello, Muggles! It's Taylor Nakagawa from WSJ. As you might have heard, we've been working on a brand new course on how to master the contest puzzles, and we need your help!
A Muggle recently sent us a list of tips from the WSJ puzzle community and we thought it would be great to include your advice and stories in our course.
If you'd like to be featured in the course, please send your answers to the questions below *and a high-res photo of yourself filling out a WSJ crossword* to taylor.nakagawa@wsj.com.
- How long have you been doing the contest puzzles?
- What makes the WSJ crossword unique? Why do you keep coming back to our contest puzzles?
- What's your #1 tip when you get stuck trying to uncover the meta answer?
- What role have the contest puzzles played in your life over the past year?
- Where are you located? City/town and state, please!
We've already gotten some heartwarming stories about parents doing the puzzles with their kids over Zoom during lockdown and a poem that reflects on the difficulty of some meta puzzles. I'm looking forward to hearing more of your stories and tips!

The backcourt is a league in competition with the pros with teams like Sbarro, Cinnabon, Panda Express, etc. Oh wait, no. That's the food court.

On shore! Was misled by sloppy Googling and my own ignorance to think that this was more complicated than it actually was :-) Tough grid though!
