I also am pretty sure that I am on shore.

Will let it stew for a while.

Got a very late start.

Excellent meta imho

Still at sea, but I can see a way to the shore. Amazing how I did three in a row on my cellphone, but failed to get the last meta and am currently stuck despite using pen and paper (on the last 2).

Still better off than this guy though:

Ashore. Another fun puzzle! I thank Misters Gaffney and Shenk, but also the WSJ for supporting the puzzles!

Relatively certain that I've arrived on shore! G&T for me, please!
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:

That was fun! Thanks, Matt!

I see no doubt that I'm on shore. Cabana boy, I'll have a margarita, please.
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.)

Fun puzzle. Have my toes in the sand still in Miami. Heading back to Alabama this weekend. The newlyweds had to return to NYC but we extended our stay to enjoy the beach.

On shore, I believe. I'm with others that I'm 99% sure of the shore.

I made a laughable mistake (that I can't wait to tell everyone about) and spent hours trying to get my OBVIOUSLY, BRILLIANTLY correct answer to fit the pattern. Finally asked for some help and saw the error of my ways. Thank you, Heidi!
Good luck, fellow Muggles!
