This was delayed a week but here you go. Another one on the easy side. Enter through Crosshare; puz and PDF also available.

This month's meta answer is a famous singer who would be an apt sixth theme entry. Deadline is Tuesday, March 12 at 12 PM EST.

Solved! Fun one. Thanks @ricky!
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:

Tough grid. I had a couple of alternative answers until I reviewed the title and prompt.

NOTE: Larry has identified an additional acceptable answer that I've added on Crosshare.

Crosshare shows the constructor all answers, right and wrong, so I can go back and mark submissions for this particular alternative answer as correct, so it shouldn't be a problem for that one.

But if you have an additional answer you feel is correct just send me a DM and I'll see if I can allow it.

Oops, forgot to post after solving. (About a week ago, as I recall.)

Got it! Thanks, Ricky!
