    Cryptics are still out of my reach but I had fun trying! And I like that you're putting the bars to use 😊

      Thanks! Since I went cryptic years ago (not an easy transition) I've never gone back :)

      Barred cryptics are the best cryptics! I like 5A and 7A a lot. The connector in 2D is very sneaky, though I'm not sure the clue is technically an &lit to deserve that exclamation mark...

        It's true - I like to play around with punctuation sometimes, and use ! in a similar way to ? in some circumstances, though it's still mainly an experiment.
        Glad you enjoyed 5A, that's the one I'm proudest of (even though it's quite easy). I've not seen that particular mechanism for an indicator used before (though I'm sure it's out there)

        I am not sure on how some of these come together--I'm basically a cryptic noob--but it was really fun to puzzle these out!
        • Leigh constructor · 2021-12-22T16:14:55.173Z
          Glad you liked it - I'm happy to explain any and all clues you don't get!

          Nice - not sure of the parse on 8a but a fun puz :)

            oh circa (CA) == roughly - C

              Nailed it! Glad you enjoyed the puzzle :)
