Hi all, new here. This is my first time to do the Crossword Contest. I feel like I’ve tried everything I can think of. Any nudge PMs would be amazing. Looking forward to getting to know you all!

New here today too! I've been doing the puzzle for a while but never tried the contest. I "took the class" and it seemed like something that I could do. Today's puzzle was nothing like I expected though - so hard! The zoom group was wonderful and I'm excited to try again next week.

Had step one, but needed the zoomers to get me to shore.

What a fantastic ZOOM group today!! I missed you all while we were away and it's great to be back, as well as, seeing some wonderful new participants. Thank you all for coming on. We may have had a record attendance this week and it all went very smoothly!!

Have a great weekend everyone!
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!

Tuned in to the 4:30 Zoom long enough to learn step one, then solved after thinking a while. Thanks, Zoom crew!

Nudged to the answer (and therefore the shore). But I'm calling this one a miss for me, thereby resetting my current streak. :cry:
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:

On the ship with Isaac. Daughter and I did the grid and tossed around some ideas. Nothing seemed to work. Will look at it again tomorrow. But I'm not confident given all the comments above. Just seeing the times that page 1 posts were made was disheartening.
