Meta Prompt
The answer to the meta is a movie
Well, I know I've bitten off slightly more than I can chew with this one, which is why I'm running it as a "week 4". But I think I've left you enough to find your way to the meta answer, which is a movie. And let's do the prize thing again! If you check the box during submission, your name will go into the draw for the latest MOAT pack, the MOAT Mini Pack of Marching Bands. Nudges available here: https://www.xword-muggles.com/viewtopic.php?p=182634#p182634
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!

    Woohoo! Thought I’d (never) get there, but jumped out in the end! Thanks Ben!
    • benchen71 constructor · 2024-10-22T23:30:05.714Z
      Well done on being the first solver... by a good 4 hours!
    • Dave C 3s · 2024-10-22T15:49:17.657Z
      Got the first step right away then struggled a bit to find the synonyms. Nice one.
      • MatthewL 🤓16:47 · 2024-10-22T22:48:46.586Z
        Needed the nudges, but then kept saying -- what the heck is TINGHILL? Then finally remembered the cardinal rule of metanisms -- when in doubt, apply the rule again. Thanks for the puzzle, Ben!
        • benchen71 constructor · 2024-10-22T23:29:35.707Z
          That's a very good rule to keep in mind!
          • whimsy 🤓20:18 · 2024-10-22T23:52:32.931Z
            ^^^ Exactly! And yes, needed the nudges to pinpoint the synonyms -- was distracted by "other" synonyms in the grid such as RUE, LOATH (sic.) A week 4 doozy of a challenge to be sure, but terrific when I realized the necessary "jump" I had to make. Thanks, Ben!
