Meta Prompt
The answer to the meta is a two-word answer to the question "How do you make letters stand out in a crowd?"
Oh no, it's time for another "week 4" puzzle! Having said that I'm hoping you will exclaim "what a relief!" after you get to the answer without too much trouble. (At the very least I hope you have less trouble than my daughters trying to get tickets to 29 across 29 across 8 down for more than three hours today. But they were one of the lucky ones and by the time this puzzle comes out they will have gone to that concert months ago!)
