X Marks The Spot (Meta)

◆◆ · Di benchen71 · Pubblicato 2021-09-07T06:00:26.130Z

Meta Prompt
X may mark the spot, but the answer to the meta is what you have to traverse to get there
Meta number 3, and we're in pirate territory! Aargh, me hearties! But it's a bit different this time, because you know where the treasure is - you just don't know where you have to start from. Good luck! Answer and explanation: https://www.xword-muggles.com/viewtopic.php?t=1179&p=67809#p67585
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!

    Loved this grid! I spent a long time pondering the meta and found what I thought might be some clues - LEY, BLAZE, the appearance of FIRST, SECOND, THIRD, and FOURTH, but I was unable to put it together. Any chance you can explain how it works?

      LEY has nothing to do with it, neither does BLAZE. But the ordinals are where to look. Is there a clue perhaps in where these entries are located in the grid?
