Now that you mention it, of course!

AHYES

Think of the casual, two-word reply you might give when suddenly agreeing with someone after a brief pause.

This clue plays on the phrase "now that you mention it," which often leads someone to say "ah, yes!" in agreement. The answer "AHYES" combines the interjection "ah" (expressing realization) with "yes" (confirmation), mimicking how people casually respond when something clicks. It’s a straightforward charade where the two parts blend into a single exclamation. Think of it as the sound of someone suddenly nodding along—"Ah, yes!"—written as one word.
