Across the moat with ease once I arrived at the castle. Nice start to the new year even if the party was over.

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!

Crossed the moat quickly after finally finding time to look at the puzzle. I see that there are nudges, but have not looked at them, yet.

This isn't necessarily a bad thing, of course!
And this MOAT is crossed! Thanks for the great puzzle, and here's to a meta-tastic '23!

Here's the solution to "Water, Water, Every Where":
The meta mechanism might seem familiar to some of you. Indeed, @whimsy had a MEOW with essentially the same title and mechanism here. But this isn't a case of plagiarism! I had already constructed my own version well before whimsy... and released it in April of 2022 as part of the 1st Pre-release MOAT Pack. (And in case you have a suspicious mind, I can inform you that whimsy did not purchase that pack.) It's simply a case of "multiple discovery" in which scientific discoveries and inventions are made independently and more or less simultaneously by multiple scientists and inventors. Or, as they say, great minds think alike!
