    I liked how the meta solution congratulated me for getting the meta solution 🔄
    • M Forest 🤓6:30 · 2022-06-14T21:42:46.909Z
      I didn't even realize this was a meta until I finished, ha. Had a small error so I wasn't sure if the end column needed a rebus or what, but eventually I figured it out!
      • Blaize Pennington 12:40 · 2022-06-15T00:42:53.764Z
        That was fun. Smart play on the theme!

          Given the supplied meta prompt was not a meta prompt, I wasn't sure this was going to be a meta after all. So I revealed the grid to clear it out of my uncompleted grids. But then it turned out to be a meta after all! Now I wish I hadn't done that. Good to see some other meta constructors on Crosshare!

            Hey there! The fact that the puzzle may not immediately look like a meta at first glance was partly intentional. Bit of an aha moment. I added some extra information to the 'note' to hopefully avoid this problem now.
