I didn't even see the square INCH and kept telling myself that a square CHIN is a thing (but now I see, the four "square" words all start in the top left and go clockwise). Didn't even find the AWAY square until after I solved the meta, I had the F, I and R and FAIR looked like quite a fitting answer. Also, the square MEAL from TWOTIMESTWO and ALASNO kept staring at me even though it doesn't follow the same pattern as the other squares.
I didn't even notice that until after I finished it, to be honest! I went back and forth trying to figure out the pattern, and it was only a matter of which one the fill would agree with first!!
Thanks for the shoves and the puzzle. I never would have gotten it without the shoves. I was being too literal with the central entry...

When I only had INCH and FOOT, I saw TARE and nearly tried using that as measurement-related. But then I saw ROOT, and FAIR-ly soon figured it had to be FAIR not FIR -- even though there's also a PINE in there. :)
Back solve time for the A!
Thank you, Mikey!!

Thanks, Mikey. Enjoyed it. Like many, the Away was the last word I found, and by then I was looking at all the A’s because the other three letters indicated FAIR. Nice job of hiding answers in plain sight.
