Meta Prompt
The answer to the meta is a 10-letter word that you might exclaim upon solving the meta
Here's a nice puzzle for you, inspired by many, many, many crosswords I have solved over the years. The answer to the meta is a 10-letter word that you might exclaim upon solving the meta. Nudges available here: https://www.xword-muggles.com/viewtopic.php?p=181284#p181284
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!
