On the board. I'll try to tackle that mega; one of my possible paths hit a dead end, so I'll take another look at the other.

Edit: Getting nowhere so far!

I was happy to get through the grid much quicker than usual, and to solve at the same time. On the board.

Easy solve - no clue on the mega (although haven’t really tried - need to print them out??)

On the board! :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:
