Meta Prompt
The answer to the meta is what you need to get from one side of the grid to the other
Yet another meta puzzle that was inspired by my failed attempts to solve someone else's meta! Hope you enjoy this puzzle, as you seek the answer to the meta which is what you need to get from one side of the grid to the other. Answer and explanation: https://www.xword-muggles.com/viewtopic.php?p=83495#p83489
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!
