"Helpful Quotation" by benchen71
Welcome to...
benchen71's Metas on a Tuesday (MOAT)
Can you storm the castle by getting across the MOAT? Ah, wisdom from the ages! Look, I don't think you will find this meta puzzle very tricky, but I really like the way it came together. The answer to the meta is a 10-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.
Helpful Quotation - Crosshare
Helpful Quotation - PUZ

Helpful Quotation - spreadsheet
Nudges are here.
The solution is here.

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!

A near-flawless castle breach… except for that one shot. Thanks for the fun.

In Central Park yesterday, when I got to Belvedere Castle, my first thought was of the MOAT puzzle. (That was probably not the first thought of the people in the picture.)
