      Yeaaaaaah I felt a little cheap doing that, but I think it's a valid clue? (please anyone let me know if it's not though!), glad you enjoyed!
      • Strom 31:34 · 2024-12-02T15:52:09.009Z
        Totally valid! Love a hard clue. I've put out some real mean ones, so I can't complain anyway 🙂

        Fair game with the "Six hundred" bit, I think! I think Minute Cryptic had a clue with "2 x 6" in it, and you had to treat "2 x" as "(repeat twice" and "6" as "VI" (to be part of the answer "VIVID". Great puzzle!
