Meta-puzzle
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A meta-puzzle is a puzzle that unites several puzzles that feed into it. For example, five puzzles that had the answers BLACK, HAMMER, FROST, KNIFE, and UNION would lead to the meta-puzzle answer JACK, which combines with all of those words to make new words and phrases.
A "meta-meta" unites several meta-puzzles. So if that meta-puzzle answer JACK was alongside three meta-puzzles with the answers TEN, QUEEN, and ACE, the meta-meta answer would be KING, the remaining card in a royal flush.
Meta-puzzles are frequently found in a puzzlehunt.
