Meta Prompt: The answer to the meta is a three-word phrase
This was one of those night-time meta ideas that pop into your head while you are supposed to be sleeping. While it's not like my usual metas, I think you will still enjoy it. The answer to the meta is a three-word phrase.

- Dow Jones 4s · 5 days agoFun, Ben. I've always heard the phrase "on the improvement", but I knew what you wanted.
- Ergcat 3:15 · 5 days agoNever heard that phrase but it worked! Thank you, Ben, for something different and fun!
- Cindy Heisler 2s · 5 days agoNever heard it put quite like that, but then I thought it was probably an Aussie thing. Thanks, Ben!
- KayW 🤓3:18 · 5 days agoYou are on quite a roll this week, Ben! I never heard this phrase but google revealed an Australian song so I knew it had to be correct :D
- Carolyn 6s · 5 days agoNice change!
- Laura M 🤓4:38 · 5 days agoDifferent and fun! Though not enough crosses to fill the gaps in my knowledge about some of the entries :-)
- woozy 🤓5:17 · 5 days agoAn alternative answer could be "Do one better" (keeping the C and then D in as corners-- Do = con one=the better=improved).Can't say I've ever heard of "on the improve" (or on the improvement)
- DebbieC 🤓3:01 · 5 days agoNever heard the phrase. Thanks for the education. Is it similar to American/British "on the mend"?
- whimsy 🤓4:26 · 5 days agoThanks for having us try something different!
- ReB 5:40 · 2 days agoOnce I figured out to eliminate the two ends and just use the corners, I generated a phrase that seemed plausible, though I hadn't heard it before - and it proved correct. The closest American phrase I think would be "on the mend" - as in after an accident. Glad I had the mechanism all along.
