I didnt want to use two L’s when I didn’t even know if there was one, but I could see nothing else at the time. It did lead me directly to the solution, though, so no regrets.

Sorry about the lack of coloring for the clues here, folks. I’m extremely colorblind. Anyway, here is what I got for today’s puzzle on Dictionaryscoop.

That’s the solution!
