On shore again! Fun puzzle, especially putting together the 10-letter combinations. Matt Gaffney's puzzle-constructing brain is a weird and wonderful thing!

I only see one solution and it's a lock. Looking forward to the actual solution, said the person who confidently submitted LANA two weeks ago...

Ashore, finally! After looking at it off and on all weekend, I finally had that AHA moment.
Overthinking is my super power.

There is the epitome of "Southern Hospitality!" Thank you!SewYoung wrote: ↑Sun Jun 19, 2022 4:11 pm Loved seeing the pictures and hearing about the good time had by all at The Whip. Wish I could have been there. We have been joined by more Muggles, so I will reiterate my standing invitation for any and all Muggles who happen to be traveling through Alabama on I-65 (or close by) to visit me at my house on Smith Lake in Cullman. Just let me know ahead of time so I can be sure to be there. PM me your email address if you want to come and I will send more info.
Don & Cynthia
We are always happy to get to know other muggles and help in any way! PM's are always welcome. The next best thing to winning a mug is helping a fellow muggle win a mug!

Got it- the last callers towed me in. That’s a lesson to go with your gut your ideas! I had the tools all along but tossed them aside. Frankly, I don’t think I ever could have put the tools to use without someone leading me. Thank you again to everyone!

Best Father’s Day present. My daughter got me a baseball scorebook and wants me to show her how to score a game. Hope I remember.

Struggled all weekend, but I finally figured it out! Ashore.

Not nearly the same as coming from your daughter, of course.

This one was a lot of fun! Finally on shore after a long struggle. I only see one answer that’s 100% so I’m going with it.

On the shore, though only 75% convinced. Such is life with the metas

IDLE MOTION - for the second best possibility - the oxymoron was just ripe
But I thought it was a bit of a stretch to call IDLE a synonym for Pacific so I kept looking and found....

My rabbit hole was finding “MOISTURE” in COMMUNIST SPREE and “HYDRATE” in VERDANT HAY. I finally revisited my initial path, which was the correct one, but then spent way too long on SPOON / LAGOON before finally seeing MOTION / OCEAN. I enjoyed this one!

I had COMMUNIST SPREE as Prague Spring and then submitted YEMENI IDEA as Arabian Sea. I knew I wasn’t a fan of this meta.

Sorry but IDLE MOTION doesn't work for me. The solution is stone-COLD obvious.
