XWord Muggles Forum

Ahoy, Muggles, and welcome to this week's SSS! In early May Cap'n Rick put out the word to his crew about a concerning shortage of cargo in the S.S. SSS's hold. AJK and I did our best to quickly replenish the stock. We want to thank Cap'n Rick, our test-solver Bird Lives, and the irreplaceable Joe Ross for his tech support. Sail on, SSS!
Nudges at noon.

The meta answer is a recent movie.

SSSolved. Nicely done TW!

Sssolved.

Which one is Cheech?

Sssolved. This was fun! Mostly a backsssolve for me. Very clever!!!!

Thanks for a smooth Sunday morning sail, Team Walkennan!!

Stay well all

SSSolved. Was more of a backsolve for me, too.
Time to light one up? Or maybe set off some fireworks.

Sheesh, @Wendy Walker! First it was "Joint Venture" and now "Up in Smoke". People are gonna start to wonder about the crowd you're hanging out with.

That was a lovely solving experience! Thanks, you guys.

SSSolved with a WAG

Had bad insomnia and "summer eye" and got up at three am to do it. SSSolved with the easter eggs but was too tired and out of it to get the meta. Will look at it again this morning to see if I can get it.

EDIT: Ah, yes. I sort of buzzed around it last night. There it is. Almost made it too hard and got a little distracted by what was put in for the purpose of helping, but it was a fun and nice little swim.... unlike the MGWCC that's keeping me up at nights.

To be fair, I'm responsible for the title

SSSolved - thanks, @Wendy Walker and @ajk!

SSSmokin'...[Nice one, Wenan!] :D

SSSolved. Fun one. Thanks for coming to the SSS rescue!

Feel better soon!

Word of the day for me. I never heard the term "summer eye" before but interwebs confirmed - yep, it's what it sounds like. And I have it as well from all the pollen

Sssolved. Thanks team Walkennan!

Wow, the creators certainly used a lot of surnames in their clues! What do they have against given names?!

we're not referring to THAT kind of smoke.

So back to Googling

Sssolved! Thanks guys!
