Meta Prompt
The answer to the meta is an appropriate last word
Albert Camus famously said, "Somebody has to have the last word. If not, every argument could be opposed by another and we’d never be done with it." See if you can complete this grid and then puzzle out who has the last word. If you succeed, you will arrive at the meta answer which is an appropriate last word.

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!
