Meta Prompt
The answer to the meta is a six word phrase that is something you can't do, as illustrated by the grid
Here's a relatively straight-forward meta for you, with one potential wrinkle. The answer to the meta is a six word phrase that is something you can't do, as illustrated by the grid. But because you have to enter a phrase, you have to get it letter-perfect for Crosshare to give you the win. If you're struggling with the submission process, the first word of the answer is a verb, and two definite articles are used.

Check out "The MOAT Mini Pack of Marching Bands" here: https://www.ephesusscroll.com/about/interest4.html. US$5 gets you 7 Marching Bands which, hard enough on their own, now contain metas too. And once again there's a mega-meta!
