  Future Menaces/cryptics will have more fair crossings. This was an experiment to see how I'd do with setting words and writing clues, and I have a little better of an idea of what I can work on ^^

  Very fun and very good for a starting cryptic. Hope you do more in the future. :)

  9a9ARumor has it body of water suppresses follow-ups (7)[-------] needs the definition in it

  • ariel haymarket publisher · 2023-09-27T13:36:39.867Z

    Follow-ups is the def
  • maturin 2:24 · 2023-09-27T16:34:26.754Z

    "follow-ups" is the definition :)
• Lego 4:11 · 2023-09-27T07:34:44.822Z

  ah, no, I get it now .. cool

  • ariel haymarket publisher · 2023-09-27T13:37:17.725Z

  I had problems with this! 1A1ADelivered heartburn relief for non-trans person's arteries? (7)[-------]: I haven't seen "delivered" as a homophone, only an anagrind; I couldn't get "non-trans person", even seeing your parsing. 7A7ADecoration bears green starter (3)[---]; what is an ECO7ADecoration bears green starter (3)[---]? 1D1DChristian sect's salt and pepper vessels (7)[-------]; in my part of the world we don't call salt and pepper pots "shakers", so that was a mystery for me. However, a decent cryptic. Well done.

    Thank you for the comments as well as taking the time to solve it. I'm working on the next cryptic and am working to make the parses and wordplay more clear.

  i love a good mini cryptic! 1A1ADelivered heartburn relief for non-trans person's arteries? (7)[-------] and 9A9ARumor has it body of water suppresses follow-ups (7)[-------] were the toughest for me

  • ariel haymarket publisher · 2023-09-27T18:33:24.289Z

    Their being otherwise unchecked didn't help, to be fair. I appreciate your taking the time to solve it!
