Can you storm the castle by getting across the MOAT? Ah, wisdom from the ages! Look, I don't think you will find this meta puzzle very tricky, but I really like the way it came together. The answer to the meta is a 10-letter word.
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.
24ac!!
(And 26ac?? Guess I should finish first lol)
Indeed I should!! Fun one, thanks Ben.

In Central Park yesterday, when I got to Belvedere Castle, my first thought was of the MOAT puzzle. (That was probably not the first thought of the people in the picture.)
