Post by Bob cruise director »

This week's contest is titled "Shamrocks" by Mike Shenk

The answer to this week’s contest crossword is a famous Irish person.

Shamrocks spreadsheet

And the answer is not Joe O'Gallagher Ross or Wendy O'Walker or Al O'Sisti or Peter O'Abide :lol:

Good luck with the grid and the meta.

On the beach! G & T please.
Check out "The MOAT MEOW Mashup Pack" here. US$10 for 14 metas that don't always abide by the "rules" of the game: asymmetry, 2-letter words, uncrossed letters, who knows. And this time there's a mega-meta! :shock:
