The answer to the meta is what you need to solve the meta
Crosswords, particularly meta crosswords, are incredibly versatile. This grid will serve as an object lesson, but in what, you will only find out if you can solve the meta. And just to make things even more enigmatic, the answer to the meta is what you need to solve the meta. Good luck! (Edit: This is proving to be a difficult one, so the nudges have arrived early: https://www.xword-muggles.com/viewtopic.php?p=91178#p91178) Answer and explanation here: https://www.xword-muggles.com/viewtopic.php?p=91689#p91689
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!

Thanks, Ben. I wouldn't say this mechanism was hard, really, but the cryptography themers definitely misdirected me -- one-time-pad decoders on the web, etc. Without those entries, you'd have had a normal pattern of correct solvers, I think.
