If anyone's wondering what they're talking about, here's the 1st Pre-release MOAT pack announcement thread. :D
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:

Off the couch, confirmed on Crosshare. Enjoyed solving the meta portion - well done and tricky (at least for me). Thanks for the puzzle.
