Solo solve, one of those rare times when you just “see” it. I’ll be stymied by next week’s Week 1.
But wow, just wow. What a construction.

Unfortunately, next week is a "week 5"! I am definitely expecting to be stymied!
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!

I actually had a meta in mind (to create) with the same title . . . unfortunately for me, the metanism apparently isn't the same. :-/

Wow! Waiting for the beam with no doubts.
The grid was a tough one. I rarely have to blind Google, but did here and learned a new word.

Well, I had a blind spot such that I didn't see that my first metanism attempt was the right one. I then followed multiple rabbit holes until a VERY gentle nudge opened my eyes to see....

Got it. Waiting for beam up.
I had asked for a nudge, but before I got a reply, I had an inspiration and found it. Cool.

I just have to take a moment to admire Matt’s sorcerery. I don’t know how he does it. This was super impressive and really entertaining too!

I mentioned that I would comment after the reveal if I remembered. Here it is.
My struggles with completing the southeast corner of the grid led me directly to the mechanism. The X Y and Z jumped right out at me.
