Meta Prompt
The answer to the meta is an author
It's time to play "name that author". I've had this idea in my notes for a while. After coming up with the themers I thought filling in the rest of the grid would be a snap. Not so! Good luck as you jump into the grid and attempt to solve the meta. The answer to the meta is an author. Answer & explanation: https://www.xword-muggles.com/viewtopic.php?p=182468#p182468
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!
Controllo se esistono file di gioco salvati...
) Glad you managed to pull off the grid, Ben -- it certainly increased my vocabulary! Thanks!1A
