Unleash Your Inner Diva

A monthly, music-themed meta crossword published at noon on the first Tuesday of every month. The puzzles increase in difficulty each month, and at year end there is a 13th puzzle (the "Mega-Meta") that invokes each of the 12 monthly puzzles. Currently available at https://pmxwords.com/, as well as through the Washington Post website here: MMMM at WaPo

On the board! Very satisfying *click* for me on this one (after feeling absolutely lost for about 20 minutes).

I think I’ve got it, but I don’t really know much about music so not sure if I’m about to get pageanted or not.

Fun one! Right in my wheelhouse (although I was worried for a minute that it very much was not!)

Well, that's a new term to me (actually, when looking up musical terms, there are a ton of them that I have not heard before).

On the board with a slight nudge. I had all of the pieces, but hadn't quite assembled them correctly.

On the board! That was not too hard once I was able to look past a few tempting rabbit holes! :D
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:

On the board. A new term for me, but not too hard after a solid click.

Are there any female cats that aren't? I have 2 girls and they think they own the place.
