    I don't understand 5A5ABoost someone else's 280-character message, say[-----] or 7A7A180 degrees from NW[-----]... or what eminor means.
    • Jon 3:23 · 2023-03-02T04:50:48.599Z
      E minor is the key. I'm with you on 55ABoost someone else's 280-character message, say[-----] and 7A7A180 degrees from NW[-----].
      • dplass 1:29 · 2023-03-02T13:42:25.056Z
        THE key...of what? Also, I mashed "give up" because...I have no idea what's going on in this puzzle.

          The prompt is "there's a secret key to this puzzle." The clues for 5A5ABoost someone else's 280-character message, say[-----] and 7A7A180 degrees from NW[-----] are for the two-letter answers RT and SE. But the full entries are REMIT5ABoost someone else's 280-character message, say[-----] / SNORE7A180 degrees from NW[-----]. The unclued "secret" letters, in grid order, are EMINOR, which is a musical key, and the meta answer.

            Thanks.

          RT=retweet and SE=southeast fit the clues. The extra letters in the middle gave the meta.

        Clever.
