Meta Prompt
The answer to the meta is an 11-letter word
I have absolutely no idea where this one came from! I just found myself thinking along certain lines and before I knew it, there it was. This one might be a bit tricky, but hopefully you will get there in the end. The answer to the meta is an 11-letter word. Answer & explanation: https://www.xword-muggles.com/viewtopic.php?p=150996#p150996
Check out "The MOAT MEOW Mashup Pack" here: https://www.ephesusscroll.com/about/interest4.html. US$10 gives you access to 14 metas that don't always abide by the "rules" of the game. You won't quite know what to expect: asymmetry, 2-letter words, uncrossed letters, sometimes all of those, and sometimes none! One thing is for sure, these are some of the more creative metas my brain has been able to come up with. And there's more: this time there's a mega-meta!
Checking for previous play data...
then finally thought about "pea" and the rest was fairly smooth solving until i didn't know what the POLE meant... but had enough of the puzzle to guess the answer... the AU covering AUSTRALIA to extract the "S" was my other in to the puzzle to get me thinking about letters1A
