MGWCC #814 — “You’ve Got to Stand for Something”
STREAKS AND VERIFICATIONS FROM LAST WEEK:
OK, I *think* we’ve gotten everyone’s streaks fixed from the chaotic past few weeks. If your streak still hasn’t been made whole, please email me at
crosswordcontest@gmail.com with STREAK in the subject line and we’ll take care of it. Apologies again for the hassle lately; I know it’s annoying, but it should be over now and shouldn’t ever happen again.
THIS WEEK’S INSTRUCTIONS:
No instructions given here since there are no-instructions solving options.
Solve well, and be not led astray by words intended to deceive.

On the board at #5. Really liked both WSJ and MGWCC this week - a promising start to the year!

Man alive, I still went down a couple of rabbit holes. I'll contend Week 1.5, haha.
But beamed up at #20. Score!
Here's to a great start to your new year!

That took a second longer than it should have! Also, had to look up something.

Finally beamed. Fun puzzle but seemed a bit tougher than a normal week 1.

Agree. If this is considered a "week 1," then we are in real trouble for what is coming the rest of the month!

Beamed up. Tough for a week 1, but not too tough.
(#94. I’ve got some good neighbors in this week’s leaderboard)

Beamed at #51. Everybody loves acronyms, as long as they signal their own in-ness. Otherwise, not so much (NSM? Is that a thing?)
