benchen71's Metas on a Tuesday (MOAT)

Can you storm the castle by getting across the MOAT? In our house, every Saturday is laundry day. Actually, we do loads of washing mid-week, too. But Saturday is the day for specific items that need washing on a regular basis. Some of these just might be hidden in this puzzle. The answer to the meta is a 4-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.

Yippee! I have a solver!! I was worried this one might have been a bridge too far.

Step 1: Moat crossed. Step 2: Castle stormed.
Loved it!

Crossed and stormed! That reminds me, I have some laundry to fold...

Crossed and stormed, clever one, Ben!

No trouble crossing the moat this morning. Thanks, Ben!

Crossed the MOAT! A lot going on there. Very fun.

Moat crossed, castle stormed, laundry folded and put away. Thanks for the puzzle, Ben!

Fun one, thanks!

ALL the laundry is clean.

I stumbled in the water but was kindly pulled through.

I got the answer via "short cut". Can someone PM me to explain the mechanism.

Crossed the moat and doing my laundry in the castle!

DeMOATed. Nice and clean! Thanks, Ben!

Thanks, I've got it now. My path was much more direct.

One of Ben’s best! Really fun and well constructed. Castle stormed, and I’m looking for the laundry room.

That was fun!! Currently in the castle courtyard hanging out undergarments.

Whew! Swam across the muddy MOAT and now I need to do some laundry.

Trivia bit: My late great-uncle, who lived to be 91 out in the country, did his own laundry and hung it out to line-dry. His laundry day was always Monday. He also heated his house with, and cooked on, a pot-bellied stove. He died in this millennium!

Crossed the moat! Thanks, Ben!

Yay! Lots of solvers are making it across the moat! In fact, overnight I passed another significant milestone on Crosshare: 25,000 grid completions!:
