Post by Bob cruise director »

This week's contest is titled Trade-Ins by Mike Shenk

The answer to this week's contest is a four letter word.

Hopefully not an April Fool's Day joke

Good luck with the grid and the meta

On Naboo. Sitting at the bar, shooting the breeze with a couple of Kijimi spice runners... feeling smug with smugglers while waiting for more mugglers. :lol:

Happy to give nudges. If you notice I've solved, please tell me about avenues you've explored so I can nudge you in the right direction and not off a cliff.
