Meta Prompt
The meta answer is a 7-letter phrase
Here are some nudges
You are looking for words that match a particular pattern
What kind of pattern you say? For what's it's not, see the clue for 69A
So you know what the pattern isn't - for further clarification, see the clue for 7D
If you've found 7 words that fit the pattern, you're half way there (and, perhaps, Livin' on a Prayer)
Speaking of songs, see the clue for 58A
It may help to use a highlighter to note all the words that match the pattern you're looking for (or use screen capture and markup tools for those solving on a device)

            You're welcome, and thanks for solving!

            Thanks! In a wild coincidence, todays NYTimes "Strands" puzzle is called "S-Words? (a cutting-edge theme):" https://www.nytimes.com/games/strands
            • Mwoychick constructor · 2024-07-21T15:32:21.957Z
              I saw that, too, Hector - I'd like to have enough influence on the NYT Games team to say we planned it, but it was just dumb luck
            • Qmark 2s · 2024-07-21T14:35:53.970Z
              A fun Sunday morning solve...thanks Mark!

                  Lol took the shortcut of just taking the middles of the across themers, which makes ON GARDE which I initially thought was some sort of corruption of the answer that might be used in lesser fencing circles (though I know well that they use the real one). 😆 Once that was wrong I submitted the right one, but needed a nudge to see the fully glory (which I felt sure that I was missing). 😆 Very fun stuff, thanks.
                  • Mwoychick constructor · 2024-07-21T15:33:12.564Z
                    Thanks for solving, Alan!

                    Terrific construction. That would have been my wild guess but I figured it out!

                            Submitted ON GARDE (the middle letters) thinking “this guy has misspelled the French phrase, I guess.” Incorrect. So spelled it correctly (EN GARDE) and that of course was correct. Apparently I need the nudge that AJK refers to above, to see what the actual metanism was!
                            • Mwoychick constructor · 2024-07-21T18:46:35.979Z
                              Congrats on the solve - all paths to the answer are welcome. You can check out the nudges on the Crosshare puzzle page and/or the Muggles forum

                              Fantastic puzzle, complete with the mental image of “crossed s-words”

                                Esscelent puzzle and meta Mark! And very happy not to have to remember what the source of original Spam is…
                                • Mwoychick constructor · 2024-07-21T22:16:25.731Z
                                  Thanks for solving, Michael - the less spam the better!

                                  Took the on guard to en garde route as others did. Still missing the complete meta. Still, a solve is a solve. Thanks for the puzzle, Mark!
                                  • Mwoychick constructor · 2024-07-21T22:17:49.342Z
                                    Glad you got it, and as noted earlier - a solve by any means necessary is a solve. Check out the nudges, but based on what you wrote, I'd say if you found 7 theme answers, you are halfway there.
                                    • MatthewL 🤓6:51 · 2024-07-22T14:05:45.707Z
                                      Doh! Halfway indeed. Now I see the fullness of the meta. Very impressive construction!

                                      I also got ON GARDE (and then fat fingered the iPad so hit reveal instead of solve. Go me.)
                                      • Sharkicicles 3s · 2024-07-22T03:53:49.775Z
                                        Ok now I see the mechanism. Crossed S-words indeed. Really nice construction.

                                          Well I tried to make it more difficult by looking for alternates (AGA=proclaimed leader of the world) then one letter offs Sends & Andes until finally I said “follow the title”. Fun meta that could have gone about 4 different ways!
