Off the Grid 1: You Again?? (meta)

· By damefox · Published 2023-04-16T16:00:31.772Z · Crosshare's Daily Mini for 5/6/2023

Meta Prompt
The meta answer is the five-letter word that should go in the missing top row of the grid. Instructions: this grid is actually 5x6, but the top row has been chopped off! The Down entries thus make no sense, because they are all missing their first letter. Your job is to find the Across entry that should go in the missing top row and that completes all the Down entries.
