welcome 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! scared

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: 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 hardwall, you should consider revealing one letter of the answer (in any position) when the question is set, unless the answer is very short/easy 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 additional 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! yay

All things being equal, Treval's next clue should appear shortly...

I was wondering whether I was tempting fate by starting a new thread on your turn...! lol Good luck with the move.

Here's one from a recent paper:

Drug used in an extremely severe case (8) - two es (oops! - corrected)

Hi Treval, correct: glad the belt is where it belongs.

I've always rather enjoyed moving house but I think I am a frustrated nomad at heart, and anyway most of my moves have been an exciting new chapter in life! I never really understand how a move can (apparently) rank with separation or bereavement as a traumatic experience...

Here are nine clues. (NB: All clues are of a similar nature but I haven't been too prissy about getting the tense etc correct so watch out)

First person to name 5 correct gets the belt - If no one gets 5 then the highest wins.

1. Adhere tightly and cut apart (6)
2. Stuck in place while moving to (5)
3. Went away and remained (4)
4. Moving rapidly but unable to move (4)
5. Examining closely by looking over hastily (8)
6. Watchful and responsible care caused an omission due to carelessness (9)
7. Support action but give penalty for it (8)
8. That was funny being overwhelmed with fear (10)
9. Add things by taking pieces off (4)

All yours Denis.

Words that have exactly opposite meanings to themselves have always intrigued me!
