Meta Prompt
The meta is a six letter adjective
Two years ago or so I dug myself into a Rabbit Hole when I thought a meta used this mechanism. It didn't. But this one does.
Here are a few guidelines for this 1: This is a concept driven puzzle more so than a language driven puzzle; don't look for letter patterns or hidden words; look for entries that have concepts in common 2: It's not an intentional red herring, but three answers seem to be related to a common proper name-- that is entirely an oversight and a coincidence And 55D is just plain misspelled (55D-damn it!) and it's too late to fix it post publish. Maybe I can make a joke clue: 55D: MARTYR: "I would lay down my life for my God" JOKESTER: "Does that mean you God is a ------?!" (Oog, no. I just have accept I made a spelling error.....)

    Okay, the answer is SECOND as the theme clues are all people/things that came in second. If you take the first letters of those that came in first they spell (in Grid order: S(uperior) E(verest) C(alifornia) O(mega) N(eil) D(iamond)
    Strange coincidences one notices after the fact. Three entries about "Kate"s, many religious entries, Two greek letter entries next to each other, a mechanism that refers to "Neil Diamond"? All unintentional coincidences.
