Off the couch! Fun puzzle, Rick.
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!

With that title I figured for sure this was going to be another @DrTom puzzle.

I leapt off the loveseat. I love how you get instant feedback from Crosshare. And nobody criticizes you for wrong answers.

I like Crosshare because I can finish the puzzle in 3 seconds! I like doing puzzles, but the meta is what I am after.

Did the grid, saw some things right away but stuck on next step. I’ll stay on the couch and ponder some more…

I seem to be in a meta slump these days - haven't cracked this one yet (though I see a few things) but wow amazing construction!
I guess you want me to do this one because of the
thing I dare not mention even in a spoiler tag .
