"Part Company" by benchen71
Welcome to...
benchen71's Metas on a Tuesday (MOAT)
Can you storm the castle by getting across the MOAT? Time for another end-of-month challenge! Hold onto your hats as you jump into this grid and meta, the answer to which is a seven-letter, two-word phrase.
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.
Part Company - Online Form
Part Company - PUZ
Part Company - PDF
Part Company - 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!

It made YOU feel old. Eight-track didn’t fit!

Crossed the MOAT! Two of the first three things I tried worked in combination. I saw the way while trying a fourth thing.

The castle baker has been baking this morning and the aroma is delightful. Nice construction, Ben.

Geez, you youngsters! I'm nervous about what climate change will do to my wax cylinder collection
But moat traversed after getting steered clear of an energy-sucking rabbit hole. Clever, thanks Ben!

And another MOAT crosser here just after the first roll call, as often is the case. Nice construction.
