XWord Muggles Forum

Very enjoyable, but over too soon.

Thursday afternoon and onshore. What a way to start a three day, 4 night weekend!

Another easier one. Lovely breeze here on the beach.

Ashore. And another amazing one by Mike.

On shore! Really liked this one!

Already ashore, and enjoying a nice single malt Scotch by the water. A nice relief after failure last week.

On shore! Submitted via email for the first time ever due to the technical difficulties. We'll see if it gives me a better chance at a mug :-)

On shore!

After last weeks head scratcher (for me at least, a relative noob), back ashore! Some click easier than others, that’s for sure!

Me all over.

Ditto. Tried to PM Mike Miller about it over 90 minutes ago but it’s stuck in my Outbox and I don’t know how to remedy that. Would someone PM Mike to let him know the problem? I don’t have a printer so if the WSJ website doesn’t get fixed, I am out of luck.

Ashore. These metas for me are either KAS 1 and solved on Thursday or KAS 5 and never solved. There will be thousands on the beach this weekend leaving Isaac the only one who's social-distancing.

On shore. Nice one.

On shore. Well done! Enjoyed this one a lot!

A sent PM shows up in your outbox until the recipient opens it.

Turtle?

On shore and submitted.

I started working on this puzzle and thought "this should be easy".
I finished the grid while in a Zoom meeting at work and got distracted by some things I saw in the grid. I wasn't getting it.
As the meeting ended, I checked this forum, saw that it was an easy one, then realized that I was correct the first time.
Maybe I just needed a minute without distractions. It's not the first time that knowing it's easy helped me solve the meta.

Solved, much more quickly than last week.

Ashore! Wish we could get the hard ones (like last week), but at least we're starting to get the majority of the metas! Time for a couple of Fat Tires!

PMs stay in your outbox until the recipient reads them.

I expect that tomorrow when everyone at WSJ Is working, someone will fix this.

In the meantime, there’s

(You’ll need AcrossLite or something like it on your computer or iPad.)

Or you can always draw out a blank grid on paper and look at the pdf online.
