I've submitted an answer and am eagerly awaiting confirmation regarding my couch-vacating status...
Edit: Confirmed! I am indeed off the couch. Thanks for a fun puzzle, Al.

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!

Off the couch!
Loved it, Al!
BTW, the reference to Al Jefferson in my Crosshare comment is meant to be Al Jaffee. #%$&@# auto-correct!

figured out what the mechanism might be early on, and couldn’t wait to finish the grid so I could try it! Good one Al!

Off the couch. Great puzzle. Hopefully a better fate in the WSJ puzzle this week than last week.

First try at one of these - got it without a nudge. I did use expertise gained from a squandered youth...

Nice puzzle with a throw back to my teens, decades ago. No need for nudges here.

Off the couch.
I keep forgetting about these until I get the weekly email from crosshare. I didn't look at the nudges. Thanks for the puzzle!
