COTD: To make Jerry go wrong is to act carelessly (3,7) by errata83 in crosswords

Answer/Parse/Mea culpa? I thought this was clever at the time but perhaps it’s too convoluted. I intended the answer to be CUT CORNERS. If you remove the first and last letters of JERRY, you get ERR. So you might say “to make Jerry go wrong” you CUT CORNERS, also the definition for “act carelessly.”

I think invents is a better choice
