🧩 As you may have seen, I recently put an NFT collection on Ape Chain. Unfortunately, when uploading, a few of the images had some of their pixels stripped away. I'm on the line with Tech Support but in the meantime, maybe one of you can find a solution for this problem.
2500 degen to the first to solve and 1 airdropped NFT from the collection to the first 10 to solve. Good luck!

Congrats to @tekkac for being the first to solve! @pallohead.eth was right there as well! Still more spots for the airdrop, so keep trying to solve!
Hint: The image is exactly 26px x 26px. What else are there 26 of?

Haha. Ok. Bonus hint (and you may know this but its for everyone):
The result is a cryptic crossword. Every cryptic has a definition word/s at either the beginning or end of the phrase. So that word/s will be a definition of or synonym of something you can get from the rest of the phrase, which is called the word play. So, you can either look for synonyms or definitions of word/s at the beginning or end of the phrase you found to see if they can match up with something found in the word play or you can look to the middle and try to determine what the word play is. There are usually indicators (super bonus hint: in this case "most of a" is the indicator) that hint at what the word play is and what to do with it. Hope that helps!
