Crowdsourced Spaghetti Metas

These eighteen feeder answers are each to be used somehow.

IDK, do whatever, I'm not your mom. (That is not part of the puzzle.)
The answer to the meta-meta is a two-word phrase.

YURT ENDOFSHIFT
NATCH DALLIANCES
ELBOWGREASE FULCRA
ROGUEUMPIRE DOCTORSTRANGE
POLITICALLYCORRECT VALENTINE
THE SPENDLESSONCANDLES
THINKBREAK MANSPLAIN
ARSENICANDOLDLACE CANCHANCHARA
BESOTTED RETINAS
Solutions:

Meta 1:

If you squint, the two-word answers all contain anagram indicators:

ELBOW GREASE
ROGUE UMPIRE
POLITICALLY CORRECT
THINK BREAK
DOCTOR STRANGE

The anagram indicators are telling you that the other word can be rearranged
to form a common word plus one letter.

DOCTOR STRANGE → STERNA + G

THINK BREAK → KNIT + H
ELBOW GREASE → BLEW + O
ROGUE UMPIRE → PRIME + U
POLITICALLY CORRECT → LIPOLYTICA + L

So GHOUL is obviously the correct and only answer to this meta.

Meta 2:

You can safely assume that the following words are used somehow.

THE
YURT
NATCH
FULCRA
RETINAS
BESOTTED

Reading the last letters, you learn that "ET HAS D" ("EDT"). . . so the
answer to this meta is EASTERN DAYLIGHT TIME.
Meta 3:

There's a two-word meta here. "DALLIANCES" can be transformed to

"ALLIANCES," cluing the idea that this answer needs to work together
with another one. Performing the same transformation on "MANSPLAIN"
gives "ANS PLAIN." So the solution to this meta is PLAIN.

Meta 4:

Three words share the common substring "CAN." Lining them up and
ordering by increasing number of letters before the substring gives the
following configuration:

CANCHANCHARA
ARSENICANDOLDLACE
SPENDLESSONCANDLES

Reading down gives "ALE," something commonly found in a can. So the

solution to this meta is ALE.

Meta 5:

This leaves "ENDOFSHIFT" and "VALENTINE" as the two feeder

solutions we haven't used yet. Both answers are two words that are smushed
together with an extra letter in the middle: (ENDO)F(SHIFT) and
(VALE)N(TINE). This leaves the letters "FN", the abbreviation for the
compound word FOOTNOTE, which is the solution to this meta.
Meta-meta:

We can now pair up our meta solutions with semantically-appropriate words

which which all rhyme with each other.

FOOTNOTE → CITE
GHOUL → FRIGHT
EDT → NIGHT
ALE → LIGHT
PLAIN → WHITE

"CITE" obviously pairs with "WHITE" (given their spellings, while

"FRIGHT," "NIGHT," and "LIGHT" form a triplet of similarly-spelled
words, implying that we're missing a word from the shorter list. But what
word could it be? Well, there's an obvious prefix that could make a word
in both lists . . . and that leads us to the final two-word phrase hinted at in
the instructions. For the missing word "SITE" is, in fact, the less-common
way to spell its homophone, making it truly the "SECOND SIGHT"!

The solution to the meta-meta is SECOND SIGHT.
