MEOW #125: Meta Physics

A weekly meta crossword on the forum started by member Josh (aka madhatter5). These puzzles are often very creative with solving mechanisms out of the norm and skewing towards the more challenging. Puzzles are posted every Wednesday, and the solution appears the following Tuesday.

Needed the guidance of #1 and the trust of #2 to get there!

Some of those across the board clues were worth the price of admission!

Cat is out of the bag. I had the right idea, but needed nudge #2 to confirm.

The answer was Spinoza. Because you had to "spin" OZA.

Not my favorite metaphysician but I could not do anything clever with LEIBNIZ.

Go here and click the "Solution" button.
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:

Oh. And there I was, trying to figure out what to do with the shaved r's from 'razor'.
