"The Global Marketplace" June 30, 2023

This week's contest is titled "THE GLOBAL MARKETPLACE" By Matt Gaffney

The answer to this week’s contest crossword is a well-known retail chain.

"The Global Marketplace" spreadsheet

A couple of notes. The WSJ will be published on Monday so the contest closes on schedule and the answer will be published after 12:01am on Monday July 3.

Enjoy the contest and if you have a family get together, maybe get other members of your family in on the fun. A group solve is a great way to get everyone thinking.

And have a safe weekend.

Also don't forget a fun filled meta weekend with MGWCC Week 5 tomorrow, SSS on Sunday, MMM on Monday, MOAT & MMMM on Tuesday, and MEOW on Wednesday. And lots of other metas under "Other Meta Crossword Puzzles".

The zoom calls on Friday at 4:40 pm ET, Last Call Sunday at 8PM and Tuesday at 7:30 PM will be on their regular schedules.

Got it. So nice to not have that nagging why-can't-I-solve-this-puzzle feeling all weekend long.

Done and done
If I'm around, I am willing to join the Muggle Zoom room at other times to lend a hand to those in need.
