Ashore! Took me longer than it should have. I need to remind myself to always do a certain thing when solving metas.

Page 3. Sigh. I’m on the beach. The cabana boy says it’s getting pretty warm. Don’t forget your sunscreen.

Um... I'm going to hate this one. Aren't I?

Have an answer but it'd be very hard to believe it is the only one..

EDIT: Okay. Thought of a second answer.

So on the one hand that's good news that there *is* a metanism. On the other hand that is bad news as I have no idea what it could be.

So I just plain couldn't get my meta based on "Up the Down Staircase" to work.

My challenge it to constructors is to make a meta where the meta, theme or metanism is "Up the Down Staircase".

Asking for a friend: is there a website that publishes the puzzle in a PUZ format?

Our beloved and faithful Rabbit might enjoy some "Long and Winding Roads" this week from struggling muggles. Should be interesting!
Don & Cynthia

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!

Had to put it down once, but saw it quickly upon picking it back up. Had actually seen part of it initially, but didn't follow up. On shore.

I use the Crossword Scraper plug-in, which works well.
