Meta Prompt
The answer to the meta is a noun
From Wikipedia: "Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions is a satirical novella by the English schoolmaster Edwin Abbott Abbott, first published in 1884 by Seeley & Co. of London. Written pseudonymously by "A Square", the book used the fictional two-dimensional world of Flatland to comment on the hierarchy of Victorian culture, but the novella's more enduring contribution is its examination of dimensions." The answer to the meta is a noun. Answer and explanation: https://www.xword-muggles.com/viewtopic.php?p=90157#p90157
