      I really liked this one! Is 6A really cryptic? Felt like more of a straightforward clue.

        Thanks, Alex! Glad you enjoyed it. 6A is a pretty straightforward clue. I feel the clue -either as a whole or “missing letters” or even just just “letters”- can serve as the definition, while the presentation of the clue with typos/missing letters provides a kind of wordplay.
