Cynthia and I have been doing past WSJ Friday puzzles in an effort to learn more about solving. We are now back to 2020. In the "Past WSJ Crossword Contests and Solutions" section, it appears that the month of August, 2020, is missing. Does anyone have those puzzle meta answers?

I do. They are in the iPad app where I have been doing the puzzles. I’ll PM you.

In bar with Isaac,
Drowning sorrows post rugby.
Mañana meta!

That was truly brutal. Men against boys…

It truly was. On another front I am hopelessly waiting for Italy to pass the Wodden Spoon to someone else, and I was hoping that after the great game vs Ireland a couple of weeks ago that the someone else was going to be Wales, but we choked. But for the first time in a long time I can say that we are competing.

August, 2020

• When I added September 2020, it's likely that I deleted the August 2020 post. August & September 2020 are in the same post, now.

The answers can be found in their individual Topics, also:

• "Let's Move Beyond It" - August 7, 2020

• "You Need Glasses" - August 14, 2020

• "Less and Less" - August 21, 2020

• "We're In This Together" - August 28, 2020

The easiest resource for solving past puzzles & viewing their solutions is provided by @steveb HERE. THANK YOU, Steve!

Isaac is getting to know me too well. Sigh. I can’t even figure out which answers are the meta clues. At least I got the cryptogram done. Slight boost to the ego.

Ashore

[Isw]

Ashore…fun one! (Always is when we get it )

[SusieG]

I was headed ashore, but ran aground when my answer appeared Dutch and not English. Hopefully nothing lost in translation.

You - and everyone else - are welcome at the Sunday evening zoom session, 8PM Eastern Daylight Time. Hear about other rabbit holes people have fallen into and get nudged in the right direction.

I'm on shore. Mr. Google had to assist me 12 times!

I’m Trying to join the zoom Call by audio but I don’t have the meeting password.

Use the 🎥Muggle Zoom Room link at the top of every page on this site. A password isn't necessary.

The link isn't given, since it only shows to those signed in to XWord Muggles. You can, however, bookmark the link once you have it while signed in.

[SReh26]

Thanks.

Ashore!! With a nudge! Or two!!

Thanks. I did. But when you do the audio only - using the direct dial, you get asked for a pw. But I’m
Ashore!

A poem upon getting to shore

I do not want to be a bore
I do not want to make you snore
I really should be minding the store
But I’m ashore!

I shall not toss my apple core
This may become the stuff of lore
I really know some words galore
I’m ashore!

I may be no Dumbledore
It doesn’t matter what I wore
But I exult from every pore
I’m ashore!

Fond memories of times of yore
Both likes and things I did abhor
Too many memories to ignore
But I’m ashore!

He is not a stevedore
Perhaps more like a Minotaur
Back from scrapes with blood and gore
I’m ashore!

Of Isaac yes I did implore
Me another drink to pour
You can almost hear me roar
I’m ashore

I left the ship through the back door
My feet barely touching the floor
My nudge providers I adore
Im ashore!

(And it’s been a while)

We’re you signed in? No password required.

I was just using the call in number and meeting ID listed below the zoom link. When you just call in it asks for a password before it admits you. I didn’t see one posted.

[Secret Adversary]

Ashore! Gaffney grids and metas always make more sense to me.

[Flamel616]

Oh? Oh. Oh! I'm ashore!
