This week's contest is titled "Stuck In The Middle" by Mike Shenk

The answer to this week’s contest crossword is a four-letter word.

Stuck in the Middle spreadsheet

Good luck with the grid and the meta

And a reminder, starting this Sunday, Will (@AnswerPfinder ) is opening up Contest Crosswords Combating Cancer (CCCC). CCCC is a bundle of 16 meta puzzles created to help raise money for cancer-related organizations. Many of the constructors and test solvers involved with the project are members of the Muggle community. The bundle is available in exchange for a donation to any cancer-related charity. For more information, visit CrosswordsForCancer.com or email CrosswordsForCancer@gmail.com. A lot of fun and enjoyment for a good causes.


And we have our earworm for the week.

It's been a while since I have posted, but I am on shore so early, I thought it might be an auspicious time to return to active status on the board.

Yep! Took a second, but yep!
Happy to give nudges. If you notice I've solved, please tell me about avenues you've explored so I can nudge you in the right direction and not off a cliff.
