- heron constructor · 2024-04-12T20:14:07.770Zsolution explanation: you're looking for letters "under the sea," or the letters that are directly beneath the letter C. reading from left to right, these four letters spell out SALT.

- apopple 🤓41s · 2024-05-03T21:41:15.719Zclever, thanks heron!
- Eric Porter 🤓1:18 · 2024-05-09T14:36:56.350ZNice first meta. I just now saw this as it was featured this week. My one suggestion would be not to put the 'C's in circles. That made it a bit too easy.
- Darth 🤓1:11 · 2024-05-09T15:30:05.226ZNice work! One of my first attempts at meta construction, a 15x15 called Sunken Treasure, followed a similar concept: https://crosshare.org/crosswords/taKJAocqUlFpXH8JsItN/sunken-treasure Of course, your puzzle is faster and more straightforward! You may have just inspired me to try constructing a mini! :D
- Sommersmith 🤓54s · 2024-05-09T16:01:00.351ZGreat little puzzle! When it comes to metas I usually solve the grid and then stare hopelessly at it until I give up finding the meta solution, so it was fun to solve a nice accessible one!
- supercruciverbalistic 🤓49s · 2024-05-09T18:03:27.234Zcongrats on your first meta, it was fun!
- KayW 🤓53s · 2024-05-09T18:23:24.319ZClever idea and well done! Putting circles around the C's made it easier - good for solvers new to meta puzzles.
- DrTom 🤓1:20 · 2024-05-09T19:46:58.346ZNice inaugural puzzle, and even harder with so few squares. Congrats
