A place to discuss the weekly Wall Street Journal Crossword Puzzle Contest, starting every Thursday around 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Please do not post any answers or hints before the contest deadline which is midnight Sunday Eastern time.
It wasn’t what I had guessed based on the title (despite a hint toward that approach in the grid.)
But soon enough saw the path to shore and am sitting here admiring the elegance.
If you want help with a meta, feel free to PM me. The more specific you are about what you have and what you want, the more likely I can help without spoiling.
(And if I help you win a mug, I’ll be especially delighted.)
Ashore. The grid filled in pretty quickly, but I badly needed a nap before tackling the meta, given that I was up from 3:30 to 5:00 this morning and again from about 1:00 to 2:00 this afternoon, cleaning up left-over snow from a storm that came through yesterday. I enjoyed both the puzzle and the meta, but … it’s a relief to have them out of the way … .
For a change I was home when then puzzle came out, 1 PM on the Best Coast.
Finished the grid and saw many were already on the beach. Stuck in a rabbit hole.
Took a nap. Got up and saw it right away.
Nice one
