Good morning, Muggles!
I had one idea in mind for a puzzle when I was falling asleep, and when I woke up the next morning, this is the puzzle that emerged. There are two paths to solve...three if you count good old-fashioned guessing.
Thanks to @Cap'n Rick, @Abide, and @Joe Ross for getting this puzzle in shape for solvers.
Prompt: The meta answer is what you'll need to follow to solve
Nudges noon-ish, depending on your time zone.

SSSolved! Nice one, Mark.
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!

Sssolved. Nice!
If you want help with a meta, feel free to PM me. The more specific you are about what you have and what you want, the more likely I can help without spoiling.
(And if I help you win a mug, I’ll be especially delighted.)

Mark is the master of the dual pathway. His puzzle almost always have a main way and a side-road to get to the answer. Regardless of size the grid delivers! SSSolved
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!
