I have a quick 10-minute break at work, which ends at midnight, and all I want to do is stare at the grid some more, haha.

On the beach! Lovely aha moment!! Old Fashioned, please!!!
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:

Managed to wade through the two feet of shallows that I had left to cover after being towed in the rest of the way by the Discord crowd. Yowza. Never in a million years. :lol:

I guess I should change my signature, and start promoting this meta: Hungry Little Creature. I was going to sent it to people for testing but I dropped the ball on it.
