"We're Back in Business" - July 16, 2021

#1

Post by Wendy Walker »

Hello Fellow Muggles,

This week I'm filling in for our esteemed Cruise Director, who is taking some much-deserved time off from his labors.

This week's Crossword Contest, by Matt Gaffney, is entitled "We're Back in Business." The meta answer is three letters long.

The link to the WSJ page is: https://www.wsj.com/articles/were-back- ... 1626104042

The PDF is: https://s.wsj.net/public/resources/docu ... 202112.pdf

Best of luck to all!

Good luck, fellow Muggles!

Done and done
If I'm around, I am willing to join the Muggle Zoom room at other times to lend a hand to those in need.

On shore! I didn't get a strong click, but I don't know what else it would be so I'm going with it.

Edit: Hello page one! It's been a while :-)

On shore, or maybe just a sandbar? Looking for a better click but I have a supportable answer, which I will wait a bit to submit.
Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect.
