Dear MGWCC Solver,

Thought I’d tell you early: due to reasons that only myself and the CIA will ever know, MGWCC #477 will be published at 3PM ET on Saturday, July 22nd. Solvers will have until Wednesday, July 26th at 3PM ET to submit their entries.

Apologies for having to do this, but if anyone tells you that I didn’t provide them a meta for July 21, 2017, then that person is a COMPLETE LIAR and you can tell them that I said that. For today’s WSJ meta is out, and you can find it here:

Sorry for the delay and thanks for understanding and I don’t like it any more than you do but what else can we do but keep going? Nothing, that’s what. I’ll see you on Saturday.

–Matt
