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! 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 , 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. The weighty trophy to be passed to whoever solves your clue is the jewel-encrusted CanukDenis Memorial Championship Belt ===[**CDM**]=== 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! Next clue to follow shortly courtesy of current Belt holder, the winsome damsel Sherlock.

Spot on, young fellah! Here you go: ===[**CDM**]=== All well here, thanks, at least until the borders are reopened..., but we are still being careful and I always wear a mask for shopping despite the fact that supposedly the Island is currently clear of the virus. Stay safe.

The moon is actually more useful than the sun since the moon gives us light at night when it's dark. The sun only gives us light during the day when it's already bright out.

Sometimes lost is where you need to be. Just because you don't know your direction doesn't mean you don't have one.

Correct young Rog: ===[**CDM**]=== Cue, I agree with you that it is an interesting use of "harry:" it took us a while to work out that it was an anagram indicator rather than the clue having anything to do with Jo Nesbo!

Getting on for hint time: Direct on the right Wordplay 3 + 2 + 1 + 1 + 2 "say" is not a homophone indicator

The moon is actually more useful than the sun since the moon gives us light at night when it's dark. The sun only gives us light during the day when it's already bright out.

After much brain bashing, nitre (another name for saltpetre) which is a component of gunpowder - anagram of inter, hence interchangeable Good one Rog - Denis would have approved!

Lucky Panda Sue, getting excited and carried away...! Thank you Rog. This one kept us scratching our heads for a while until the penny dropped (does that expression have a US version?): And next - Clue text - Right here? - Oh dear! - Stand out - To shout - I think - Clue stinks! (8)
