Meta Prompt
The answer to the meta is the focus of most social media content
I had some fun with this one! Hopefully you will enjoy this puzzle as much as I enjoyed putting it together. The answer to the meta is the focus of most social media content. Answer and explanation: https://www.xword-muggles.com/viewtopic.php?p=93856#p93856
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!

    Loved it! Also agree about Only Murders in the Building.
    • benchen71 constructor · 2022-05-17T11:10:20.452Z
      Can't wait for Season 2!
    • I K Snamhcok 8s · 2022-05-17T14:03:00.464Z
      Funny! Thanks, Ben!
      • rjy 6s · 2022-05-17T15:28:59.875Z
        Enjoyed this one... fun concept, w some chucklers (35D for one, tho sadly I date back to Prodigy and Compuserve...)
        • dplass 8:41 · 2022-05-21T12:14:57.182Z
          I still remember that 70702,1275 was my compuserve ID.
        • dplass 8:41 · 2022-05-17T15:39:15.339Z
          HA!
          • Tom Wilson 🤓10:14 · 2022-05-17T15:57:35.889Z
            It took me a while, but I finally got there. Such a fun meta ... and such a well-delivered "social" commentary!
            • boharr 3s · 2022-05-17T16:29:41.883Z
              Of course ME is a more apt answer. But fun nevertheless.
              • benchen71 constructor · 2022-05-17T22:58:25.369Z
                True. But then I wouldn't have been able to use TWATTER, which was simply too hard to pass up!
              • madhatter5 6s · 2022-05-17T16:13:26.236Z
                This has to be one of your best, Ben!
                • benchen71 constructor · 2022-05-17T22:55:58.046Z
                  Thanks!

                  That second step was a doozy. And I'm a fan of Only Murders in the Building too.
                  • Dow Jones 4s · 2022-05-17T20:31:16.721Z
                    Tough grid but satisfying meta solve.
                    • Carolyn 3s · 2022-05-17T21:12:19.247Z
                      That was great! Jumped the gun on the first try but then realized the answer.
                      • Hector 12:14 · 2022-05-18T14:10:16.695Z
                        Got on only my 9th guessed letter!
                        • benchen71 constructor · 2022-05-19T01:55:24.676Z
                          But then how did you know to guess a single letter? ;-)
                        • Qmark 4s · 2022-05-18T17:33:01.463Z
                          took a while for the last step, but a satisfying solve...good job, Ben!
