"Autocorrection" March 31, 2023

Ashore.

[EVJ]

Wow. Lots of people getting the meta quickly, so it’s probably not very complex, but I’ve been staring at the grid, the clues, the title, the prompt and I’m seeing nothing

Right there with you! Please pass the pretzels.
Bob, count me AT SEA.

[LuscombeDriver]

Got it. On shore.

[Toby]

Solved after a brief diversion. I agree with those pointing out that this is a good introduction to metas since it uses several of the typical solving techniques, and is very enjoyable when you see how it all works together elegantly.

[TeaJenny]

Ashore!

[Bob cruise director]

Good Friday morning muggles

A fun meta from Mr. Shenk. Right now we have 2 keeping Isaac company and 134 on the shore.

Good luck to your final four teams this weekend

[Kris Zacharias]

On shore, a little bummed that I did not make it in time to be included on the first report.

[CPJohnson]

Didn't see it last night, but took another look today, and there it was! Ashore.

[Barnhart6]

One of these days I’ll have to look on Thursday to see if I can make an early page

For now count me ashore with a Jameson double — neat.

[altosax]

I didn't see anything at first, so I thought this would be another failure for me. Then I said to myself, "I know it's a long shot, but let me try this." I tried that, and I got the answer. I never would have solved it without noticing something in particular.

Ran down a few rabbit holes before the aha moment. On the beach!

[lbray53]

On shore!

Reading comments regarding the difficulty of this meta, or lack thereof, helped me rein in my solving strategies. I found some very interesting, if short, paths to peruse.

[femullen]

If at sea you're feeling queasy,
Come ashore. The bar is sleazy,
But the beach is bright and breezy
and the meta-puzzle REDACTED.

[billkatz]

Took me longer than it should have, but I'm on shore.

[sharkicicles]

Finally sat down to this one and am still lost at sea. Go White Sox!

Edit: Oh wait. I made that way too difficult. On shore.

[ColeTrain]

I typically do the mon-thurs puzzles (usually looking up a few of the answers) but I'm trying the Friday contest ones again. Got the grid filled but having trouble with the meta answer. Will probably take a break and look tomorrow but not feeling confident haha.

[LittleGood]

I'm LAS with Isaac.

[JJD]

Ashore,
though I do see a second answer that may trip a few people up.

[grwinski]

Ashore!

Would like to claim that we didn't get to it until today, but the reality is that it took this long to see it (embarrassing!)

Rita and George

[Fogway]

Ashore along the Vltava in Prague. I'll have a Pilsner Urquell.
