Cryptic - Messaging
◆◆ · By quatrevingtneuf · Published 5 months ago
It’s been a while since I’ve put a cryptic together! Got back into it recently while solving a few and remembering how much I enjoy them. I went with a slightly spooky theme for October.
There are a few PG13 clues in there; consider yourselves forewarned.

- Fun! I got everything except OLIVE7DTwist ending - lost topping (5)[-----](can't quite figure out that parsing) and GNOMON25ASun follower gets behind odd gang of shadowy figure? (6)[------](couldn't remember the second half of that word - very fun wordplay for MON though). The 1D1DDip something soft in a runny meal! (3 2)[-----]clue is excellent!
- Oliver (Twist) losing its end letter, GNO are the odd letters of ¨gang of".
- Very tough and rewarding for me! Went with ANALYSE for 2D2DKendrick fakes singing - look into it (7)[-------]... oh well, bad luck I guess.
