Solution to #M: Act 2a Meta

    The grid contains a seemingly random set of letters. Empty sets of slots in the grid are labeled with the question numbers, indicating that the answers to the corresponding puzzles should be filled into those slots.
    The next step requires careful examination of the poem at the bottom. The poem attempts to point out two things which are key to solving this puzzle. The first things to notice are that the poem talks about hearing smooth sounds, and that the first letter of each sentence is a vowel. These aspects are meant to indicate that vowels are important. The second thing the poem points to is blindness, which should help one see the grid as braille. Putting these two clues together, one should colour in the vowels in the grid, and read the result as braille.
    This spells the word "schoolhouse". However, entering "schoolhouse" as the answer will prompt the response: "Wherefore doth thou spell with such high grammar?"
    The correct answer is "skulehouse".
