On shore in spite of having "gridlock" like so many others.

We are always happy to get to know other muggles and help in any way! PM's are always welcome. The next best thing to winning a mug is helping a fellow muggle win a mug!

Ashore! Quite the grid today with some clever clues and entries that were new to me. Meta mechanism was straight forward but I am missing a click.

If you want help with a meta, feel free to PM me. The more specific you are about what you have and what you want, the more likely I can help without spoiling.

(And if I help you win a mug, I’ll be especially delighted.)

On the beach on my way to a professional development day. Old fashioned on the rocks after!
Check out "The MOAT MEOW Mashup Pack" here. US$10 for 14 metas that don't always abide by the "rules" of the game: asymmetry, 2-letter words, uncrossed letters, who knows. And this time there's a mega-meta! :shock:

Tough grid, but made it to shore. I expect a lot of people will look at the answer to 15A and go "huh?"

I'm old enough that I always enjoy the clues that you have to be old enough to get. In this case, even if you get the answer from the crosses, googling that by itself isn't going to tell you much.

Ashore. Tough enough solving the grid on an iphone--had to come home and put it on paper to see the meta.

Late start, quick finish, and I definitely agree that the grid was a doozy. Ashore!

Ashore. As always, glad to make the top 100. Grid was certainly a challenge.
Regards to all.

Congratulations! And go Team Blue (though Team Pink is great, too!)

PS: If you want help with a meta, PM what you have so I can help without spoiling too much. I've received lots of help in the beginning and I love to pay it forward!
