By way of reminder, the object of this game is to solve the clue presented by the previous poster and then set your own clue.

Anything from the (worldwide) crossword arena is acceptable by way of clue style, but if you stray from the pure path beware the scourge of... ...Pandora's WET NOODLE!

The puzzle could be an old favourite or something of your own making. Don't be shy: this is for everyone, not just the old hands!

There is nothing to prevent (say) a couple of related clues if offering a single clue cramps your style.

If there are multiple answers involved, there is no restriction against one person solving all and the solver of the final clue/part is the one who goes next.

Obviously you need to await confirmation of a correct answer before posting your own puzzle, but please then do so reasonably promptly (preferably within about 36 hours). If having answered correctly you are not going to be able to set a follow-up clue within about the next 24 hours, please pass your turn to someone else so that the game does not stall.

To save the poor demented solvers from excessive brain damage , you should consider revealing one letter of the answer (in any position) when the question is set, unless the answer is very short so that provision of a letter hint at the outset would spoil the sport!

If no-one is biting within about 24 hours you probably need to start dropping hints.

To try to give everyone a fair crack of the whip, the immediately previous setter is asked not to post a solution to the current clue within the first 24 hours.

The weighty trophy to be passed to whoever successfully solves your clue is the jewel-encrusted World Clue Federation championship belt

Constructive criticism and cheerful badinage are to be expected, not to mention a certain amount of national rivalry, but above all, have a bit of fun!

I know Denis will get this next clue in 24 hours and one second if no-one else gets there first, and those from the antipodes may have the edge...

Badly shocked, picking up a couple of characters from Vancouver to break the cab-rank rule (9 or sometimes 4,5) - 3 vowels all different

SHOCKED + vAnCouver = codehacks ?

Right approach but wrong answer.

hackcodes (at least Google has heard of those!)

Hint: it's an Australian expression about behaving badly.

Guess we'll leave that one for Koala !

First letter is D.

I shudda known: d---s---- ; let George do it!

By Jove I think you've got it!

Duckshove...not "by Jove"!

OK; a FULLY legal one(!):

Sounds like right place for a tattoo shop ? (3,4) No e's

I have never heard the expression "Duckshove" in my life.

Day1 clue : the "sound" part involves "right" = write

Ink Spot

Denis, I believe you're using the homophone incorrectly.

The word that you're clueing should be a homophone of a synonym, not a synonym of a homophone.

Sounds like right = REEL (RIGHT=REAL, REEL sounds like REAL)
Sounds like right = INK (WRITE sounds like RIGHT, INK=WRITE)

All yours; ===[**WCF**]===

Yer right, of course...

OK Pandora: I'm bending down....yee eee outch!!

Double dose at least after the boast that it was going to be a fully legal clue!
