Gulp!
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!

Well then you've succeeded in your challenge. Ten minutes in and I have not even filled in an answer. I mean I thought I was channeling my inner Josh sometimes, but it appears you are channeling your inner DrTom (in esoterica at least, I am sure the mechanism is a lot more inventive)

NUDGES!I am always willing to give nudges where needed; metas should be about fun, not frustration. Send me what you have done so far because often you are closer than you think!

Wowwww... I have a couple, very tentative entries, but nothing for 52A, so I'll be parked on the sidelines as you other wizards free your felines. Enjoyed the partial journey tho, Josh!

I've got the first step. My limited knowledge of certain topics may prevent further progress.

The only thing that makes any sense here to me is that, yes, frankly, gravy IS amazing. I may need to order some poutine tonight.

Bird is referring to MY clues here, not madhatter's, I think. True, I should have labelled it a "crypto-meta" or some such (but it's not "a cryptic"; cryptics have certain rules, metas have ... no rules, but only norms of fairness or something; but it certainly is related to cryptics, as I would have thought any meta fan would see). And given that it is LION day (and for a certain other reason, too) it is meant to be challenging, so don't expect a breezy solve.
Edit: TWELVE! correct solvers *of the MMeta* on crosshare so far. The grid can be "reveal"ed, which will get you part way there if you're stuck -- in fact that's a good first nudge: do that and then figure out what the clues are doing. Still plenty of puzzling left to go after a grid reveal.

To be transparent: I mashed "solve" on yours. So it may not count.MMe wrote: ↑Wed Mar 08, 2023 4:07 pmBird is referring to MY clues here, not madhatter's, I think.

I finished the grid in 2 minutes +/- (maybe a personal best)
Now on to the meta...

Just to state clearly, because there has been some confusion/suspicion, my meta and MME's meta are entirely different metas. Also MME is not actually me, I am not THAT evil.
But I am thrilled we have the debut of a new setter on my own little subforum
