Substantial

MEATY

Think of a word that describes a burger packed with flavor and heft, or a conversation full of meaningful content.

"Substantial" hints at something weighty or significant, but in crosswords, it often plays on the idea of being filling or hearty. Here, it’s a straightforward double meaning—the word "meaty" literally describes food that’s substantial in content, like a thick steak, while also fitting the broader sense of something solid or important. No tricky wordplay, just a direct nod to how we describe a satisfying, robust portion.
