    Excellent meta! It seems that RUN is the answer because it appears in every clue, thus demonstrating many of those many definitions you referred to in your introduction. Very cool!
    • lbray53 7s · 2023-05-09T12:27:27.268Z
      I submitted RACE first. I thought that the title hinted at that, as in Cross Country Race. A marathon is also a race. Actually, I thought that since RUN was in almost every clue, that it could not be the answer. Still, well done and very fun.
      • benchen71 🤓2:15 · 2023-05-09T22:43:30.589Z
        RACE was my first guess, too.

            Are you sure you don't write metas under the pen name of Benchen71? Nice meta. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

                Very cute and fun. I read three or for clues before thinking "Wait a minute...."

                  Congratulations on a fantastic debut meta puzzle. Clever idea to show the different ways the word can be used. Hope to see more puzzles from you!

                    That's awesome! It reminds me of a puzzle I once saw when I was younger that was the flip of this. It looked liked a typical crossword, but the word SET was in the grid 15 or so times, clued differently each time (I looked this up - not the puzzle - but apparently "set" has the most definitions of any word with over 400!). Keep on constructing! It's a wonderful art, and I hope to see more from you!!
