Meta Prompt
The answer to the meta is next in the system
Surprise! This is part two of a two-part benchen71 meta extravaganza! If you've done part one (https://crosshare.org/crosswords/OC34ZhU1fERZwyLrb2i5/inner-system-meta) then you may know what to expect. That said, the metanism is different, even if the prompt regarding the meta answer is the same: you're looking for the next in the system. Answer & explanation: https://www.xword-muggles.com/viewtopic.php?p=133889#p133889
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!
