Meta Prompt
The answer to the meta is a five letter word
I've got rather a long lead-time with my puzzles such that my most recently constructed meta won't see the light of day until April 2023. But every now and then I like to drop a more recent one into the line-up. This is one such. Good luck solving this meta puzzle, the answer to which is a five letter word. Answer and explanation: https://www.xword-muggles.com/viewtopic.php?p=93168#p93168
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!
