On the beach. Direct swim. Very intuitive.

What a week. Double whiskey neat, and keep'em coming.

Ashore ...I think. Might have landed on wrong beach. Found gimmick pretty quick but random 4 letter word ...maybe. I can see the logic.

Count me ashore! Went down a small rabbit hole that never amounted to anything but my brain couldn't let it go. So, I suppose more like a rabbit divot... ANYWAY, good to be back on the beach after a frustrating weekend of treading water last time. Happy Friday, Team!

I hate it when I’m the only one NOT on the very crowded beach! Apparently I can’t see the ocean for the trees.
Thanks to all the muggles in this group. Participating is the highlight of the week!

Ashore. Finally! Took me way too long to see the path. Classic Shenk. Loved it.

On shore. This kind of meta is practically becoming the WSJ's signature style!

REMINDER: Please join us for our Muggle Zoom Friday at 4:30 pm Eastern Time today. If this week's meta is making you feel a bit like a nutcase we will help you get your feet on the ground. If you have already cracked the case we can share stories and have some fun!

All are invited! Click on the Muggle Zoom Room tab at the top of the page.
Don & Cynthia

We are always happy to get to know other muggles and help in any way! PM's are always welcome. The next best thing to winning a mug is helping a fellow muggle win a mug!

Ashore this morning over breakfast.
The solution is clear but I am going to throw a little curveball over an alternative answer I saw, just for kicks and giggles. Likely not right but we have so many people already ashore, so why not deviate from the crowd

Ashore. Great example of a meta puzzle. Straightforward when you get it. Until that point...🤔
