Got it. Fun mechanism.
Is there a glitch on the forum board? I can't possibly be first almost an hour after it went up, can I?
Seriously, where is everybody?

On shore, even though I can't believe it myself.

On Shore. Grid was harder than meta.

On the beach! 🏖
Enjoyed it!!
Edit: Redemption. I thought that trick-or-treat CLOWN last week stole my mojo! Missed that and still don’t have the current MMMM. Glad to take the direct route on this one.

On Naboo. This place looks eerily abandoned....or perhaps the party hasn't started yet?...

Ashore, though I’m going to hold off submitting for a bit, lest I have another thought about one little … thing. (And, like others, I’m wondering where everybody is …
.)
Well, that was quick: I resolved my remaining issue, submitted my answer, and am on a relatively empty beach, wondering where the heck everyone is.

On the beach, another week on page one!!
Edit: I think numbers in parentheses terrify people.
Edit #2 - wow, this one's off to a very slow start. Don't let the numbers scare you. Work on the puzzle, use everything that Matt gives you.

On shore.
Tough, but not as tough as CLOWN.

I used a brute force method and got confirmation I was half right. But still on the boat waiting for this week’s Cameo video.

Holy guacamole! Even the cabana boy (who is Jangler's 3rd cousin) was reeling after this one. Thanks to a fellow Muggle for a big nudge. The cabana boy never gives nudges. He's a strange one……but what a bod!
Oh, and I’m on the shore with my margarita missing baseball.

After struggling with this one yesterday, it all came into place this morning in my head while walking the dog. I love when that happens. Puzzle gets a thumbs up!
