welcome By way of reminder, the object of this game is to solve (and briefly explain) 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 too far from the pure path beware the scourge of... Pandora's WET NOODLE! eek witch

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!

For those unfamiliar with crossword clues who want to give it a try, there is plenty of guidance online and a quite entertaining and instructive book (not just for beginners) available from amazon http://www.amazon.com/The-Times-Crack-Cryptic-Crosswords/dp/0007546521/ref=dp_ob_image_bk and no doubt elsewhere, and for those who like British Crosswords you may like to try these (which are free): http://www.theguardian.com/crosswords and https://www.ft.com/crossword.

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 18 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 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 should start dropping additional hints, and 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.

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. dance

The weighty trophy to be passed to whoever solves your clue is the jewel-encrusted CanukDenis Memorial Championship Belt
===[**CDM**]=== praise

This thread is so named in honour of our late dear friend Denis Borris (aka CanukDenis) who was an ever cheerful and quick-witted presence on this forum, posting many an iffy crypt just to stir the pot, and intrigued by all things linguistic, mathematical and beyond.
RIP CD - we hold you in our hearts as we play on!

Compared to Denis, I am not very good at solving these puzzles.

Could this be an anagram of unable + read = unreadable?

Hm - didn't imagine it would cause this much grief

You're looking for a word that fits definitions 4 (and possibly 5) of "plant" in dictionary.com
Looking at a list of John Steinbeck novels may help
A word meaning "shout" to include a woman's name
cvccvcy

A very wise question to ask with me, but yes, afraid so, Cheryl - want to let me have the first two under a spoiler? think

Thanks, Rog! santa

With no time to lose, someone occupying the kitchen doesn't start to remove lid from spicy dish (2, 1, 5)

I have been trying to justify "in a hurry" for this, but failing dismally...apart perhaps from removing lid from curry hardwall

(BTW I was stuck on Rog's clue in the same way as you)

In a hurry is the correct answer, Lex. You've taken the lid off of curry, now you just need to find the "someone in the kitchen doesn't start" part. Who might you sing about that's in the kitchen? It might be more of an American folk song. thumbsup12

It's usually mama's in the kitchen in a few old blues songs, but with that hint and a little help from google and You Tube, it would be Dinah in the kitchen not starting reindeer

Thank you Cheryl, and a very happy and healthy New Year to all! newyear

A couple of medical clues to help further addle the brain amid the over-indulgence (or hangover, as the case may be), along with a third clue I could not resist as a vocabulary tester:

1. Infection resulting from Spooner's Scottish legislation? (7) - two vowels and all letters different

2. My company has something in the blood that causes pneumonia perhaps (10) - six consonants with one appearing twice, as does a among the vowels, and all letters otherwise different

3. Pompous official judge's first with spirit to support censure (10) - three vowels of which two are a, one consonant appearing twice and all other letters different
