    Very nice grid! Can you explain how the meta works? I wasn't able to crack it
    • Pixlate constructor · 2021-09-30T21:36:56.401Z
      Some entries cross other entries that only differ by one letter (like NEARLY and EARLY), take that letter (in that case, the N). This happens 8 times across the grid. Anagram those letters to get the phrase EVIL TWIN

        Oh nice that is clever! I was focused on the "genetic" part of the title so was looking for entries with As Ts Gs and Cs or something 😂
