XWord Muggles Forum

Welcome, new friends, to the Forum! We are so glad you've joined us. For nudges, please PM me and tell me what strategies you've tried. I'd be happy to help!

Finally on shore because of some friendly nudges. Not submitting, but glad I now can concentrate on the MGWCC. Thanks Muggle friends!

and don’t it feel good! Anyone remember that line from the 80s song, Walking on Sunshine?

my candidates for the theme song for the aha moment:

1. What a Feeling (from Flashdance)
2. Chariots of Fire theme song
3. Walking on Sunshine
4. That’s the Way I Like it
5. Rocky theme
6. Round the way girl (hey wait....?)

any others?

Sunrise from Thus Spoke Zarathustra?

OmG- PERFECT!!!!!

[Spoiler redacted]. Experiencing a real world and meta drought. SS Meta on the rocks. Would welcome a tug in the right direction to nudge me back to sail to the real beach.
Thanks in advance.

How about for when everybody else solves, but we don't? Personally, I hear James Gang's Walk Away for 3 to 9 days.

I hope that my comment wasn't a nudge. It was intended more to assuage than to inform.

Fear not, Bird: NOTHING posted on the Forum represented a nudge or a spoiler for this Muggle, not even Annabelle's redacted comments, which I read avidly but which, sadly, added nothing to what I already had. If anything, your post was an anti-spoiler for me!

Queen's "Don't Stop Me Now"?

Ok, needed a nudge to "correct" one of my building blocks (small issue with it . . can expound later). Anyway, Blanton's on a large cube please!

Or Peter Schilling’s Terra Titanic?

Well, ashore (we think)....
another challenging puzzle - where we think we have 80%; but that last...

We've been touring the west (Montana/Idaho/Utah) and only pulled up the puzzle tonight in Odgen, UT -- hopefully, the vacationing helped the brain cells some!

Rita and George

I'm ashore. Nice one.

Very late start this week on this and on the MGWCC. Solved this grid this morning and kept getting pieces of it all day between yoga, yard work, and a much deserved massage in the evening! It was the massage and a glass of wine that did it.

I’m determined to keep working on the MGWCC the same way, without a nudge for a while. I’d really like to get them both nudgeless this week!

TOP UP MY WINE I SWAM IN WITH IT IN MY HAND

Well, not on the island --
So must be on the SHIP
But feel like I keep driving around in circles with the information I have.
And it doesn't help that I ignored my mother's warnings and stopped to pick up this hitch hiking trio.

Last week… son married.
This week… sitting with Isaac.
Next week… still mugless.

I'm a half hour away from launching a Hail Mary. I can't believe after getting the first step that I can't make a cogent five-letter word out of any...well, anything.

Same!

I wonder whether I’m on the right track or not. Could I run what I have by someone?
