Meta Prompt
The answer to the meta is a 4-letter word
In our house, every Saturday is laundry day. Actually, we do loads of washing mid-week, too. But Saturday is the day for specific items that need washing on a regular basis. Some of these just might be hidden in this puzzle. The answer to the meta is a 4-letter word. Answer & explanation: https://xword-muggles.com/viewtopic.php?p=158958#p158958
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!
