It's on the loose... Email went out to list survivors, I mean subscribers, about an hour ago.

This one challenged some test solvers more than others, so I am offering nudges if needed, and I'll try to remember to check my DMs regularly over the weekend

I required a *lot* of googling since this meta dipped into a definite hole in my knowledge, but it was still fun!
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:

A lot of googling for me as well, but it was worth it.
