How do you remove the blinking cursor when clicking on text in a div (not <input>)

So I'm building a fun little Jeopardy (They reserve all of their rights) game for my work.

Building it using grid is super easy and all, but when I click on the <div> it adds the blinking text cursor after it (as shown in the picture below).

I tried doing cursor: default and cursor: none -- none made the JS stop functioning, and default didn't do anything (that's what the picture has).

CSS

#round-one {
    display: grid;
    grid-template-columns: 200px 200px 200px 200px 200px;
    grid-template-rows: 100px 100px 100px 100px 100px 100px;
    gap: 20px;
    background-color: black;
    width: 1080px;
    height: 700px;
    border: 20px solid black;
}
.round>div,
.round>span {
    background-color: #021489;
    display: inline-grid;
    height: 100px;
    width: 200px;
    cursor: default;  /** Same Location I tried cursor: none **/
}

.header {
    font-variant: small-caps;
    font-weight: bold;
    color: white;
    justify-content: center;
    align-items: center;
    font-size: 2em;
    text-align: center;
}

.answer {
    font-weight: bold;
    color: #D7A04B;
    justify-content: center;
    align-items: center;
    font-size: 4em;
    text-align: center;
}

HTML Section

<body>
    <div id="round-one" class="round">
        <div id="r1c1r1" class="answer" onclick="question('r1c1r1')">
            100
        </div>

and JS

<script>
    function question(id) {
        alert("test");
    }
</script>

I'll deal with the actual JS I'll be using later. As it stands right now, the cursor: default allows me to click and receive the alert().

I use caret-color: transparent; for my forms where I find the blinking caret distracting. Technically the caret will still be "there" Just invisible.
