Meta Prompt
The answer to the meta is two 8-letter words
From idea to finished meta this one took me far longer than I could possibly have imagined! However, this should prove to be a fitting "week 4". The answer to the meta is two 8-letter words. Answer & explanation: https://xword-muggles.com/viewtopic.php?p=155903#p155903
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!
