MEOW #43: Connect Four
Hi all and welcome to the forty-third installment of the MEOW!
The answer to this meta is an eight-letter word.
Sorry for the lack of a .puz file - it was not able to handle this particular grid due to the empty squares.

Jeepers! Not giving us much to work with here.
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!

Now don't go counting this as a nudge.

So.... does that mean there was a reason you couldn't replace each empty square with 36 black squares? Can I consider that a hint?

I guess I should change my signature, and start promoting this meta: Hungry Little Creature. I was going to sent it to people for testing but I dropped the ball on it.

Solved and submitted.
Edit: confirmed (though there is no doubt once you get it.)

Hmmm...If I didn't know there was an intelligent creator behind all of this, I'd call it random madness and just give up!
Edited: Yes, INDEED an intelligent creator! Brilliant! (And may the "fourth" be with you! )

I think the cat is finally out of the bag after a lot of wrong turns. Confirmed.

Submitted, after another Muggle made an important observation.
Thanks for the puzzle, and VERY well done!

Me neither. I'm at a total loss. Hoping for some insight after sleeping on it.

I BELIEVE I have the grid (hard to know, without any crossing words), and I see a start of something, but what to do with it I can't figure out. Looking forward to the nudges for this one... I clearly need some.

Anyone unsure whether their grid entries are correct can message me for confirmation (or confirm themselves on the web app). Sorry that wasn't supposed to be a sticking point!

Yup - I do indeed have the grid correct. Awaiting the nudge day. (When is that?)
