On the beach.

Had more trouble with the grid than the meta.

On shore. The grid posed much more of a challenge than the meta. I am impressed at how many Halloween themed answers Mike was able to cram in there and still do a meta puzzle.

Ashore! 35D to you all.
Have a great weekend!


Too many of you using the e-word, will bring a curse to us all.

Ashore... maybe? I submitted what seems like a fairly obvious answer, but I can't call it a 100%er.

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.)

Ashore pretty quick this week! More of a normal puzzle after the last few. With the appropriate Halloween theme, I found the grid was quite tricky, and difficult. Whitches brew martini sounds like a drink!

Solved. It was difficult at first, but I soon got the answer. No page 1 for me.

On shore… Tough grid. Add 50-across to a phrase I’ve never heard before. Happy Halloween!
