          Ah, that's sans serif typefaces for you. Ive changed it to A.I. – thanks for pointing that out.

          Another great cryptic; I really enjoyed it.
          • Lego constructor · 2023-12-04T18:12:54.105Z
            I'm glad you liked it. Was it not too simplistic?
            • Oliver Hardy 18:54 · 2023-12-04T22:23:50.566Z
              It was a nicely challenging cryptic without being too challenging.

            Fun cryptic! I love the layout you went with for this
            • Lego constructor · 2023-12-06T00:08:26.770Z
              great!! glad you appreciated the layout : )

              2d made me chuckle. I think 7d could be confusing as reversing the first and third (unchecked) letters could give a similarly legit (though probably not as good) answer.
              • Lego constructor · 2023-12-06T00:09:55.117Z
                ah, you're right!! i might need to fix that clue up so that GELATO is more clearly not the answer we're looking for
              • Jake A 18:30 · 2023-12-09T00:26:51.573Z
                Quite fun! Much obliged!
