This week's WSJ contest is titled
"MAKE IT AN EVEN DOZEN" by Matt Gaffney
The answer to this week’s contest crossword is one of the 100 largest cities in the U.S. (per the 2020 census).
And sorry to
@Al Sisti , it is not your favorite city. Most beloved by muggles but not in the top 100 by population.

And for your further amusement, check out the posting by
@sharkicicles . Done with and responded to with a large amount of humor.

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 Naboo. Had my landing gear down early. Now cue up the "Imperial March" as I head over to the cantina. :lol:

Couldn't start right at 4 (work should know better than to stand in the way of crosswords!), but count me ashore!
