Nov mini cryptic 1

◆ · Di n0hk · Pubblicato 2021-11-01T05:56:28.672Z

I'm going to try write a cryptic mini a day throughout November, an early advent calendar of sorts?

Remember to scroll down to start

Let's see how often I can keep it up, and how much coal I end up giving you.
1A Def The cover of the night Wordplay Anagram devout with the 'o' missing
5A Def Exist Wordplay Remove end letters of dares
6A Def Temper Wordplay Hidden in doggerel axle
8A Def A letter to the Greeks Wordplay 'T' + Au (to in French)
9A Def Casseroles Wordplay Sts (ways) around middle of brewed
1D Def Races Wordplay Cryptic double-def, thrown darts typically target 60 in the game darts
2D Def Service Wordplay Anagram unviable without nib
3D Def Many years Wordplay reverse are
4D Def Narratives Wordplay TTs around 'ex'
7D Def Get stuck into Wordplay Reverse travel & take regular letters
Controllo se esistono file di gioco salvati...

      1A and 8A were the best by a mile to me, 1D and 5A the softest. Glad you enjoyed it :)

      Very nice! I'm excited to improve my cryptic skills this month!
      I referred back to your helpers a couple of times for this one - maybe by the end of the month I won't need them 😊

        2:34 is a good time, too!
        Some of the clues would have been hard to parse (understand the wordplay of) from first blush. 2D is probably veering dangerously close to a substitution anagram; which is a bit dirty.

        Progress for me, I was able to get ARE, ERA, RELAX before referring to the helpers. 1A and 2D were clever in hindsight!

          Nice progress!
          I was kinda laughing at the grid having both are and era; but it seemed like it'd be a bit heavy-handed to have them refer to each other like that. Thanks! I was proud of them, even if 2D is of questionable validity.
