[Meta] Metacross – 26 February 2024

The hint for last week’s Camping Trip is now available, as is the solution to the puzzle from two weeks ago, Silent Treatment.

It’s time for the January-February, metapuzzle, Metacross! This puzzle uses the answers to the previous eight puzzles to give one final answer. Next week, we’ll be back with the start of a whole new puzzle set.

The sixth season of Grant Fikes’ series Kevin’s Puzzles at Home, his homage to this site, is ongoing as well. If anything, these puzzles are a bit easier than mine, and as an added bonus, he donates to a food pantry for every solve. What’s more, all nine puzzles are still available for one more week! Head on over and solve some puzzles to help the hungry!

The answer to the puzzle each week is a word or short phrase. Enter it into the box below, ignoring any punctuation. Due to a quirk of the setup, answer submissions with unorthodox spacing will take a while to appear on the leaderboard, though the solve time will be properly recorded.
