It should be a 100% when you get it.
GUAVA is not an anagram of VAGUE and PEPPER is not a palindrome.

Ashore...I think first time where I still have a few grid entries to solve.

Woke up in middle of night, corrected a few errors, thought "what if"...and out popped an answer.

TIme to turn on an old Gilbert Gottfried podcast to get back to sleep (since 32 Thoughts doesn't drop their next episode for a few more hours).

On shore. Fun one.
If I’ve solved and you need a nudge, you can PM me. Happy to pay it forward. ;)

I think the gist of it is, in a bear market, people sell stock. WSJ is a financial newspaper after all.

I wonder how many used Google this week for solving the Meta. I would wager that this week is even a higher percentage than last week!

Should have been on page one :oops: Had all the pieces quicky, just didn't see what I was supposed to do with them. Woke up this morning and said to myself, 'You idiot, you didn't try (metanism)!"

Sure enough, there is it was.

Done and done
If I'm around, I am willing to join the Muggle Zoom room at other times to lend a hand to those in need.

Ashore. Got most of the way there last evening but couldn't quite see where it was going. Today I noticed something that might be more significant than I first thought and it got me the rest of the way there.

Pretty sure we have it, but not solidly confident. Thought there would be something to absolutely verify our answer after the blatant hint given last week!
Think we will sit on our solution for today and see if it becomes more solid for us.

Was ready to jump off the boat, but now second thoughts and comments here have given me pause. Going to have another look at the puzzle and another think.

My solving experience exactly! Happy to be on shore.

I went around the barn, under the fence and through a neighbor's yard to get there ... but get there, I did. Whew! Time to put a New Trail Crisp Lager on ice for later. (It IS still the workday, after all.)
