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:

Cat is out of the bag! Got a late start today after being busy this morning and driving to the lake this afternoon. Hope to get a lot done on clearing the steep bank behind the house to open up the view of the lake from the house. Won't come close to finishing this weekend, but hope to make good progress.
