I set today's Indy cryptic -> puzzles.independent.co.uk/game

Sample clues:
Silliness curtailed by outstanding fans (9)
Cold storage facilities having no news once sunshine's blazing (3,6)
Cruise company theatre's opening for start of drag show (5)

No spoilers, ta!

For those who are interested, I thought I’d explain how the three sample clues I posted yesterday work. First the basics. Most cryptic clues have two elements:
1: a definition.
2: some wordplay.
The definition is basically the clue as it might be in a non-cryptic crossword. The two elements could be in either order - but the definition bit is always going to be at one end or the other, not buried in the middle.

@DaveGorman Are you ... Dave Gorman?
As someone who made a few (feeble, probably) attempts at creating cryptics, I'd say that's an excellent start.

Follow

@pom @DaveGorman He is Dave Gorman. What's more, he's the one you mean, not one of the other Dave Gormans he met once.

He sets crosswords as well now. :ablobcheer:
