Solved and submitted after a nudge. Clever puzzle!
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! :shock:

Looks roughly alphabetical. Odd, that.

No access to printer etc. so saving this for the end of the week when we return home.
Will have to spend next couple of days on the couch still -- what a shame --

Solved with a confirming nudge. Nice one!

Had all the right things just not in the right way. Couple that with a preformed opinion about what the solve would end up being (a wrong presumption I might add) and I went round and round until finally, with a healthy nudge back onto the straight and narrow, I arrived at the answer. Not yet confirmed but quite sure.

Good puzzle with some nice twists.
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!

Wednesday nudge(s)

The title is very important

The title applies to more than the final solution

I believe I'm off the couch. I thought I might have found the right path to the solution last night and that first nudge provided confirmation. Figured out the meta answer a few minutes later; just waiting to hear back from Chris. Another great MMM! Thanks!

Planned to get off the couch earlier and a friendly nudge corrected an error on my part. Thanks Chris!

Off the couch. I know I'm late arriving, but I didn't open the spoilers. Honest. I got distracted by mistake I made in my first pass through the entries and didn't see what was going on till today.
Nice idea for a meta.

Helped off the couch by the gracious DrTom. I enjoyed the grid and clueing. Thanks, Chris, for entertaining us.

Off the couch after Chris corrected my one wrong, you know - the thing.

I think I would be helped with a spreadsheet on one of these so I don't have to seek through things manually, but I do like solving on paper best.
