Happily on shore after two weeks with no time to solve (don’t think I would’ve solved last week’s even with more time). It was quicker than it should have been because as I was filling the grid my husband read a work email out loud which immediately led me solve. He isn’t taking credit for the win, he’s just happy I won’t be asking him meta advice all weekend.

Solved and ashore. Great puzzle as always from Mr. Shenk.
While on the beach, think I’ll continue to tinker with Mr. Sisti’s MMM.

Ashore!
Checked the forum at work and saw page 3 before it was even 5pm! Figured I wouldn’t rush to solve.
Got the kiddos in bed, sat down with an ungin&T (curse you Dryanuary) - and thoroughly enjoyed it when I finally got a moment to myself.

Shaking my tail feathers all the way to shore! Fun one Mr. Shenk.

Toes in the warm beach sand.
This meta would be a great case study or article on "How To Solve the WSJ Weekly Contest" :
easy to grasp
fun construction
introduction to "outside-the-box" thinking in contest puzzles
After last week, this one warmed my heart!

Ashore! Maybe a personal record for quickest meta-solve yet! Had one quick peek down a rabbit hole, but my next idea was the right one. That was fun.
