Ashore! G & T, please!!
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:

Ashore! Home sick today, glad to have great puzzles to keep me company. I'll take another hot tea with honey while I keep my distance on the beach.
