"Crosswords Rock!" - April 12, 2019

[Laura M]

This beach looks a bit different, but I'm on shore! Hi everyone, and thanks again Brian!

(BTW I was Laura Mendyke on the WSJ forum, I just simplified my name here.)

[darthdriessen]

Made it ashore. Only deserve a glass of milk for it. Finally was able to re-up with the WSJ site. Bartender, keep the booze flowing!

[Cindy]

Solved. And happy to be a part of this group. Cheers!

[FrankieHeck]

Solved! Only my fourth WSJ meta attempted, and the second solved (I hope.) Quick question for you long-timers...does the difficulty of the puzzles stay about the same, or should I expect them to get harder each week?

Hello - for my sanity (what little there is), if your screen name is not obvious, could you either send it to me off line or somehow help me associate it is with the list I have from the WSJ.


Thanks

[Cindy]

Hi Bob. Cindy from Matthews is Cynthia Weatherman. Welcome! And thank you for your hard work.

[Icdogg]

On the Mgwcc scale I would call it an easy week 2 or a harder week 1. Took me a minute or two longer to get the meta than it probably should have.

First post here. Just jumped over from Subscriber Island. But did renew for a digital subscription this a.m. Totally rewarded with AHA just now. Beach, Tiki Bar, the works. O Blessed Weekend... you are mine!

I wasn't on the WSJ forum as I never was able to post there. Maybe an Android issue, I don't know.

I figured that especially when the other Cynthia (Johnson) also posted. Most I got but there are some who we have too many of to guess.

[Icdogg]

This name, icdogg, is my name on mgwcc and mmmm leaderboards

[Darryl H.]

So grateful for this new site! Thanks, Brian. I am ashore, thankfully!

Thanks then you shall stay as Icdogg unless you want me to list you some other way

On the beach! Hope everyone is enjoying a cocktail! (Heidi)

[BrianDavidson]

On shore! These new digs will be liberating!

[Jacksull]

Made it to shore early this week. Matt Gaffney rocks! So does Mike! So did Marie!

[Wendy Walker]

Grid was trickier than the meta! I enjoyed this one but recall a similar strategy from a few summers ago -- will not get more specific but perhaps some old-timers will recall it. BTW, thanks for starting this forum.

[Cindy]

And if anyone wants to know I am kitchendiva on Mgwcc, mmmm, etc.

[Tom Wilson]

Heartened to be ashore and grateful for these new surroundings!

[MEPrice]

I solved from an airport lounge! Yay!
