    solution path:
    notice that each of the starred entries contains a synonym of zero: NONE, ZERO, NIL
    SUBZERO means to take the letters directly below those, giving ICEL AND IC

      It took me an embarrassingly long time to realize the second part of that

      This was great!

        Fun puzzle! I'm not great with meta puzzles yet. I thought the solution path had something to do with SUBbing vowels or letters with the letter O, but couldn't figure out anything that made sense. Still enjoyed it though!
        • THC 🤓2:14 · 2021-12-06T14:18:36.273Z
          Challenging meta solve path for a small puzzle. Took some thought to add “and” to “icel”, then to sub four letters of “zero” to “nil” and reduce to “ic” below. Enjoyable meta!
          • SJMcK 🤓7:54 · 2021-12-06T21:28:49.666Z
            Solved my first meta. Thanks!

              Fun! I like the small-grid metas.
