Meta Prompt
The answer to the meta is a two-word phrase
I should have been working on my thesis today but I just couldn't face it (I'll blame that on a slight headache). But a meta crossword? Oh yes, that's definitely doable! The answer to the meta is a two-word phrase. Answer & explanation: https://www.xword-muggles.com/viewtopic.php?p=138034#p138034
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!
