Post by Bob cruise director »

This week's contest is titled "Buzz Cut" by Mike Shenk.

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


Good luck on the grid, the meta and stay safe for any muggles suffering from triskaidekaphobia.

Al must be on vacation. Easy swim--toughish grid.

Toes in the sand (and getting some actual sun here too!). A Guinness would make it perfect!

Me on page 1?
The stars aligned: I had time at 4 to check the puzzle; it's a Mike Shenk puzzle (my favorite ones); I got through the tough grid.

It took some staring, but I got to the beach eventually. Too late for a radler though....
