Is it a rabbit hole when you can't move any dirt? As I learned from the Zoommuggles, I was looking for the right thing in the wrong place, so very doubtful I'd have gotten ashore without the shove. Just spoke with the Smarter Half of Team Canuck: she got it sans help, the brat.
This was the first time I've been able to join a Friday Zoom. It was great to see everyone and to confirm that you're all as friendly as you come across in these posts. Holiday Cheers to all.
P.S. Ship4you's hat wins.

For nudges, feel free to PM me. I won't have a clue how to help you, but you might shove me ashore.

The fact that you get a word and that the mechanism actually works should be a solid firm lock.Acarl wrote: Fri Dec 23, 2022 5:16 pm Although i’m still looking for the “ small piece that makes it a lock“
Unless you mean you are only partially done and had to do a little backsolving and the portion you have alone doesn't feel like a lock....
GUAVA is not an anagram of VAGUE and PEPPER is not a palindrome.

Ashore thanks to the muggles zoom group. My sleigh was on the right track, but I needed the reindeer to pull me through.
Merry Christmas and happy holidays to everyone.

Ashore with help again from the muggles Zoom group to extract me from a large snow drift that was blocking my view.

Solved it along with the Zoom crew! It was great to see so many Muggles on the call, including the creator of the official Kas Scale.
Good luck, fellow Muggles!

Swimming in the general direction of the shore but not sure of my exact whereabouts, the Zoomers tossed me a live-saver that landed within my grasp, and they towed me to shore. The very attentive cabana boy found me a beach chair on the crowded beach, and he returned moments later with a very dry Super Tuscan. Life is good.

On shore after a slight waxing of the skis from a fellow muggle. A great holiday puzzle. Warm season’s greetings to everyone on the forum!

I am at the ship's bar. I think Isaac is a little tiRED of me FOOling with this meta, but he is so sweet that he hasn't batTED an eye and just keeps plying me with BOOze. Our internet is out and data barely there, so I couldn't get to the zoom. Not sure if I'll be heading to shore or to the aBYss!
Blessed celebrations to you all. This forum is definitely a gift!
