On the beach! A 4 Pillars Old Fashioned to celebrate page 1!!
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:

Done and (wow) 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.

On the beach with a group nudge. My first page 1!
Will give nudges if you’re really stuck
