Cryptic Crossword Clues
Following on from my post on this subject yesterday, thought it might be a bit of fun, and a challenge to post some cryptic crossword clues, and the solver then has to post their own.
I'll start it off with a very easy one.
6 letters. Doubtful, dare he stick?

Re: Cryptic Crossword Clues
Rather than troll this thread, would be interesting to see if a poster with a tested IQ of 142, could set a clue which us lesser mortals could not solve.ifm wrote:This went well.

Re: Cryptic Crossword Clues
I don't do hardly any cryptic and never have so they just don't make much sense. Love normal crosswords so tend to just do those.mc1958 wrote:Adhere for the first one - anagram of "dare he"
Now you've said it I can see it

Re: Cryptic Crossword Clues
No to both questions Mike. Was solving the crossword on Tuesday, and took me a while to solve the "troll" answer. Thought that quite funny given this forum, so posted the clue on the Rambling Thread, just for a laugh.mc1958 wrote:Do we get a prize - or are you stuck on a prize crossword lol
So thought it would be a bit of fun to start this thread.

Re: Cryptic Crossword Clues
Oh well that's a shame, not done any crosswords for a while and was hoping Unicorn were putting up some prizes The answer is emanate:
Eastern = E
fellow = man
devoured = ate
Emanate is another word for issue
Eastern = E
fellow = man
devoured = ate
Emanate is another word for issue
