Meta Prompt
another mini meta! the meta answer is a three letter word. the fill is a bit rough--this was surprisingly constraining.
thanks for playing--feedback welcome :)

    solution explanation: you have to read between the lines, which are I's in this case. the letters that are between I's, reading from left to right (or top to bottom) are L from ILIAD, E from TIEIN, and D from HEIDI, making the solution LED.
    (TEN is also an alternative solution if you read from the diagonals--the intended solution is LED though)

          Very fun, heron! I like the mini-meta idea!
          • heron constructor · 2024-05-06T21:40:19.861Z
            thank you! it's been surprisingly hard to come up with ideas that fit within the 5x5 grid haha
          • kurtalert 🤓36s · 2024-05-06T13:48:17.117Z
            neat, thanks!

              These have been really fun! A good way to introduce people to the idea of metas, I think.
              • heron constructor · 2024-05-06T21:40:34.702Z
                thank you! i'm glad this is a good introduction :)

                Great job!

                  I love your creative puzzles. Have you ever tried making one where all or most of the clues are emojis? If anyone can do it well, it’d be you.

                    that def took a while. i'm really impressed by how much thought was put into this to make it work. must have been a tough one to construct. great job!
