This week we are honored to have Patrick Berry back as our guest constructor.

The title of the contest is LEFT UP IN THE AIR

The answer to this week’s contest crossword is a four-letter word.

Reminder: Monday is Memorial Day, a non-publishing holiday. Deadline remains 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time Sunday, May 26.

Save to your drive, then allow permissions after opening.


And with shameless promotion, the Third annual NE Muggle Get Together has been finalized for Thursday July 18 in the appropriate town of Natick, MA. You don't have to live in NE to attend, the only requirement is to know someone who lives in NE or someone who used to live in NE or be able to spell one of the six NE states or be visiting New England in July.

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.
