On shore. Metaphorically, of course.

I’ve noticed they haven’t been giving the length of the answers in most of the recent puzzles. I factored that into my solution strategy more than I ever realized. Makes it trickier!

Whenever I see so many on the shore it says that it must be straightforward.

But when you are in a fog, sometimes it is not clear what straightforward is.

And sometimes you just need a dopeslap from a good friend which is what happened

On the shore - with laughable rabbit holes. I will try to get to the zoom call at 4:30 to provide some comic relief. Shades of the three stooges all in one.

Got on shore pretty quick after finishing the puzzle last night. Hoping there wasn't a step I missed because it felt too easy!

Ashore, with confirmation from Ship4u. Still a little fuzzy on how that answer fits.
