On shore. Very clever! How does Matt come up with these?

On shore. Feast or famine, it seems, when it comes to degree of difficulty.

Ashore. Nice to put last week well in the rear view mirror. G & T me!
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:

Finally onshore. Got a slightly late start (stupid meeting), then took me waaay too long to find the things to find, even though I of course knew what to do almost instantly.

Not sure why it took so long. Partly just bad luck in my choice of what things to hunt for I suppose. Wound up having to backsolve the last one. In my defense that particular target doesn't appear on a rather lengthy list of possible options that I was consulting

Definitely a fun one, though my personal experience of it was a bit of a slog.

Figured out the meta answer before filling the grid 8-)

Ashore. Fun one. Even though my favorite food groups - chocoloate and ice cream - aren't the answer.

Ashore. Late start but got it quickly. Nice and breezy after last week’s full on hurricane!
If I’ve solved and you need a nudge, you can PM me. Happy to pay it forward. ;)

It was a similar thing for me, but I was also delayed because of an inconsistency.

A little tricky, but finally we're starting to get the hang of some of these (especially Matt's puzzles!)
