Welcome to...
benchen71's Metas on a Tuesday (MOAT)
Can you storm the castle by getting across the MOAT? Time for another end-of-month challenge! Hold onto your hats as you jump into this grid and meta, the answer to which is a seven-letter, two-word phrase.
The easiest way to submit is on Crosshare (and you get instant feedback and unlimited attempts!) But you can also PM me with your submission. Either way, I'll compile a list of those who successfully solve the meta.
Part Company - Online Form
Part Company - PUZ
Part Company - PDF
Part Company - spreadsheet
Nudges are
here.
The solution is
here.

Crossed the MOAT! Two of the first three things I tried worked in combination. I saw the way while trying a fourth thing.

The castle baker has been baking this morning and the aroma is delightful. Nice construction, Ben.

Geez, you youngsters! I'm nervous about what climate change will do to my wax cylinder collection
But moat traversed after getting steered clear of an energy-sucking rabbit hole. Clever, thanks Ben!

Crossed the moat and am now in good company. Or is it "a good company"?
Cute puzzle.

And another MOAT crosser here just after the first roll call, as often is the case. Nice construction.
