Took a peek at Discord. Quickly to shore.
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.

On shore! The Mug winner should be required to "show your work."
Merry Christmas to all Muggles! As I wrote in our Christmas letter: "Wendy also continues with her meta crossword hobby, not only solving the puzzles but also constructing them. She loves the friendly, welcoming, and supportive online community that has sprung up around these puzzles."

Cool mechanism. Back to the yacht for another martini.

Had to backsolve a couple but I can’t imagine my answer being wrong. On shore.
