Meta Prompt
The answer to the meta: "Nice audible 'oui'"
This meta was the result of the disturbed sleep I experienced the night after my kidney stones procedure. I make no apologies, though, since I think the end result will be fun for all the family! The answer to the meta: "Nice audible 'oui'" And yes, that's obscure for a reason! Answer & explanation: https://www.xword-muggles.com/viewtopic.php?p=121171#p121171
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!
