Meta Prompt
The solution to this meta is one of the grid entries
This is my attempt at a Week 5. It may not be because the themers might be too easy to find. But it still shouldn't be any easier than a week 4, I hope.
I came up with this idea when I had a familiar frustration trying to solve a meta and a thought "what if I made a meta where these types of frustrations are part of the solution".
