Echo the above. Fell off the couch rather than springing triumphantly to my feet. I’ll blame that on Thanksgiving lol

Off the couch with a wild guess! Crosshare comments helped me see what I had missed. 
Check out "The MOAT MEOW Mashup Pack" here. US$10 for 14 metas that don't always abide by the "rules" of the game: asymmetry, 2-letter words, uncrossed letters, who knows. And this time there's a mega-meta!

I’ll post a leaderboard tomorrow, but so far we are at 60 solvers. So I’ll make this a prize puzzle.
The site is just a web page, a meeting place, a clubhouse - it's the group that's special.

After seeing what Crosshare had to say, I'm guessing you're right!

Off the couch! I took off in the wrong direction after solving the grid yesterday (I’ll claim some kind of fog from all the turkey). After another look today, light dawned! Enjoyed it! Thanks for the puzzle!

Slipped in through the back rather than solved exactly, but it makes no difference to Crosshare or to me. I'll pretend that I would have seen it anyway and just turn my attention to two Big Ben's as it turns out.
Thanks for the puzzle Peter
Thanks for the puzzle Peter
NUDGES!I am always willing to give nudges where needed; metas should be about fun, not frustration. Send me what you have done so far because often you are closer than you think!

OTC, though like some others I didn't actually know why until I read the Crosshare comments. Maybe I'd have gotten it for real if I'd put more thought into it. Thanks, Peter!
I only looked at it today because I was out for Thanksgiving and I'm still catching up on things.

Took me til Wednesday to finally get off the couch - needed just the first nudge to shake off all those residual tryptophans. Good one, Peter!

OTC with a single spoiler. Needed that nudge but what a cool meta!
