"You'll Figure It Out" April 4, 2025

#1

Post by Bob cruise director »

This week's contest is titled YOU’LL FIGURE IT OUT by Matt Gaffney.

The answer to this week’s contest crossword is an Oscar-winning movie of the 21st century.

You'll Figure It Out excel spreadsheet
SAVE to your drive.
OPEN from your drive.
ALLOW permissions.

Good luck with the grid and the meta.

In all likelihood, I will be increasing the odds of someone else winning as my knowledge of movies or Oscar winning movies is close to absolute zero. :(

Ashore!
Not my strongest category (movies), but this one was lurking around in my brain, so I was able to grab it.

Bespoke nudges available upon request (if I'm on shore, off the couch, in the castle, petting an un-bagged cat, ...).
Let me know how small or large a hint you want, or hit me with a specific question(s).

Ashore! Very cute. I believe I'll have a G&T to celebrate the spring weather (and wash down the pollen).

Ashore, I think.

I still need some more confirmation, but what else could it be?

Edit: I was correct. I wanted to get a page 1 finish because I was 99.9% sure and saw it filling up. :D
