Meta Prompt
The answer to the meta is an eight-letter word
Merry Christmas for yesterday! With this "week 4" puzzle we have reached the end of 2023 as far as MOATs are concerned. I trust you have enjoyed these weekly puzzles of mine. I know I have greatly enjoyed, not just the intellectual challenge of putting these meta puzzles together, but the two amazing online communities: xword-muggles and Crosshare! Your encouraging comments, groan-worthy puns, etc. are a big part of why I keep releasing these things each week. And here's to more to come in 2024! Answer & explanation: https://xword-muggles.com/viewtopic.php?p=152326#p152326
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!
