" Make A Run For It " November 18, 2022

[Bird Lives]

I got the puz file at Fleeting Image (https://www.fleetingimage.com/wij/xyzzy/22-wsj.html). I didn't look for the puzzle till 5:15, so I don't know how soon it was posted there.

Not quite certain which shore I'm on. I'm considering an alternate answer, but that's probably just because I need the exercise.

[Eric Porter]

On shore.

It took me longer than it should have for the AHA moment even though I have done this type of race.

I think we may get a few wrong answers for a different kind of race that I haven't done.

Hello and deepest apologies for the glitch on our site causing the delay. We're on the case.
Meanwhile I am curious where you're getting the puzzles you posted here?

See above

Lol! I think Mike from WSJ is asking how users here have access to the puzzle before it was made available on the WSJ site. I was wondering this too but assumed it was an open secret. Now it appears it may not be intended to be so open.

Yes! Thank you. We would love to know where it's hidden...

Thanks for the link. On shore w/in the hour.

This is where I always get the grid. It usually appears a few minutes past 4, so if you are set on making page 1, it may not be for you:

Edit to add: I hope I'm not in trouble with MikeM!!

Thanks for posting. Solved the puzzle and meta but can’t submit… usual do these on my phone. Thanks to those who posted links. WSJ seems to have more bugs than anyone else, no?

You must have never been to a Holiday Inn in New York City.

Ashore thanks to those who shared the file.

[Merry Potter]

On shore…. First time doing it on my phone

Perhaps the WSJ had the same trouble Ticketmaster had with Taylor Swift?

[MarkWoychick]

Ashore, solved and submitted

[Char]

Completed the race to the shore. Thanks for posting links to the puzzle.

[Prozach]

No pdf still. But on shore

[grwinski]

We don't know if we got the foot race or not - but did submit an answer. We're on some sort of beach, though! (which is really nice compared to the 2-6 inches here in Colorado!

Rita and George

[Matt, thinking to himself] "Can I do this?"

Yup

[MikeMillerwsj]

OK we're up, sorry for the delay!

[FKelly]

On the beach. Had something akin to an AHA moment.
Not my favorite footrace, but we "Just Do It".
Happy Thanksgiving everyone.
