[Solution] Metapuzzle Mix-Up

The only content of this metapuzzle is the phrase “The final answer to this set’s meta is“. Since it is a metapuzzle, it also uses the answers to the previous eight puzzles:

  • SHIRT
  • BOT
  • GNAWERS
  • FINIAL
  • ASSET
  • T’AIME
  • SIN
  • BETH

Solving this puzzle requires noticing that each of the eight puzzle answers is a scramble of one of the words in the phrase with an extra letter (or in the case of FINAL>FINIAL, no scramble has occurred, making this an easy point of recognition).
