      Thank you!

      Woo, one-word clue! I got caught on "leave", even though it didn't quite fit "fire", but that's wonderful. Love your work.

        I've been wanting to discover a good one-worder for ages! Glad you enjoyed it :)

          one-word-clue cough uh, have you seen my duality cryptic?

        Can you let me in on 1a?
        • Retriever constructor · 2025-04-17T08:30:45.912Z
          Of course! 'Proposition' is our definition. If we ask Roxie to 'strip' then we'd remove the outer layer, leaving OXI, which then 'dances' to become XIO.
          'The morning' might be AM, which XIO is then 'in'.
