Dear Solver,

Due to a non-crossword issue (laptop keyboard wasn’t working, tech guy told me to get a non-wireless mouse, wife ran up to Staples to get one, it actually worked), today’s MGWCC will be posted at 2 PM ET.

Apologies for the delay; wile away the hour by trying my live WSJ meta here:

Until soon,

Matt
