"You Need Glasses" - August 14, 2020

[Tina]

On shore. Had to use Google because I didn't know 36D, 40D or 40A. It was very interesting to learn about 36D, though. Although I have no intention of trying it. There is no substitute for coffee!!

[EVJ]

Ashore!
Sister-in-law and I teamed up again. I couldn’t do it without her. Good luck to everyone!

[SewYoung]

On shore within minutes of completing the grid! Another delightful construction from Mr. Gaffney. Happy weekend, everybody!

(Edited to remove what could be construed as a very mild spoiler)

Aw Gee, what'd you have to go and do that for? I still don't have a clue. I see only one thing that I will submit as a Hail Mary if I don't figure out the real answer before the deadline.

[billkatz]

I have made it safely to shore! And I realized that I forgot to post here last week that I solved that puzzle too...

[bskptkl]

Ah finally. Getting worried I was never gonna see it.

[arlecchino]

first puzzle I’ve done with my WSJ mug B)

the theme is totally out of my area, but with some help from the internet I’m sure of my answer now!

New here! Started doing these with my brother during quarantine, and now we’re addicted! Having a little trouble getting this meta going, anyone care you nudge me in the right starting direction?

Sent you a nudge

[CopperRiver]

Finally on shore after a two week slump with the help of my kids. Going to enjoy the day with drinks that are not liqueurs. Good luck to all still working on the puzzle!

“On shore!” as you guys say. Thanks to those who helped me get it started!

One of the kids here! Fun one to figure out with mom and brother. Drinks on you! (:

[rexthree]

i'm still on the boat...

[meowmiao71]

EDIT: On shore thanks to a lifeboat. Thanks for your help and friendly welcome!


Hi there! I'm new to this forum and am stuck like a bug in amber. I would be extremely grateful for a nudge so I can sleep tonight! Thank you so much in advance for any assistance. I solemnly swear not to submit my answer in the interest of fairness.

In the meantime...Isaac, another White Claw please! Any flavor but grapefruit.

Hi all, I'm also new! My husband introduced me to these puzzles at the beginning of quarantine...and it's become a weekend addiction for both of us. It's a great diversion, and it's another good reason to look forward to Friday!

I've been chasing rabbits on this one...could I ask for a nudge as we cruise closer to happy hour?

[MileHighSolver]

On shore after two nights of looking at this with a few glasses of Jefferson's Ocean Aged At Sea, which is appropriate for two evenings with Isaac. Perhaps a beachcomber is in order tonight.

On shore, I really like this kind of meta
