The solution for this clue is pretty short and sweet, but it can be tricky to arrive at. Since it’s only three letters long, it can take longer to figure out the right letters, and the clue also makes it seem a bit more complex than it actually is. It’s not super easy, but it’s definitely not one of the harder clues I’ve seen, so I’m giving it a two out of five difficulty rating.
