Meta Prompt
The answer to the meta is a poem
Here's another "week 4" challenge for you (rather than frustrating you with an unsolvable "week 5"!) The answer to the meta is a poem. Answer & explanation: https://xword-muggles.com/viewtopic.php?p=165731#p165731
Check out "The MOAT Mini Pack of Marching Bands" here: https://www.ephesusscroll.com/about/interest4.html. US$5 gets you 7 Marching Bands which, hard enough on their own, now contain metas too. And once again there's a mega-meta!
