I wasn't seeing it, then read your post and immediately thought of it. I confirmed by looking back at the puzzle before submitting.
Thanks Cap'n!

Great puzzle! Hubby and I joke about these and try to insert them into “serious” conversations sometimes. (Well, after 40+ years together, you’ve got to come up with something different.)

I am off the couch, but I required remedial nudges to get this one!
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!

OK finally got "nudged" ashore. Very frustrating as I literally tried that exact mechanism but didn't apply correctly. Fun puzzle. Thanks so much

Still have two of them. Took them on the honeymoon to Orlando and went fishing on lake Toho!
