Meta Prompt
Metas would be easier if constructors would 5-6-3-4 (but they always do)
This is a bit different. I feel the mechanism is easy to guess but how to put it together as a puzzle.... we'll see.
I do feel bad that part of this is not a actually a lead clinch so if you need a freebie nudge: Imagine there is an extra entry "Clue: Where aircraft hang out when they aren't flying [WWWWxx]" I think that would clinch it.

    Cool idea. In case you weren't aware, there is no entry box for the meta -- the solution just appears when you solve the grid.

      Oh, and MADD and MAHI are mis-scored
      • kurtalert 🤓5:39 · 2024-10-08T14:30:14.859Z
        So cool, solving this was awesome fun. A few tweaks - MADD and MAHI should both be [BWxx] and DESIGN was only given [BWWxx] when it should be [BWWxxx]. And, PERSE should be [BWWxx] instead of [BWW..]. I think that's it!

          That's enough! Oog. I thought I had triple checked. These intricate ones are a pain. I should have realized before I filled in the grid that six six letter words would probably not be enough clues. In hindsight in filling the grid I probably should have down the six letter clues specifically to give the answer. I had to change the upper right hand corner after grid fill to include a V for the five letter words but I couldn't fix the six letters and I was too far in to start over.
