I set today's @Independent #cryptic #crossword, at https://puzzles.independent.co.uk/games/cryptic-crossword-independent?puzzleDate=20230618#!202306 (Select June 18th - It's a repeat!) #cryptics #CrypticCrossword
#Cryptic #crossword clue formats:
A [Cryptic definition]
or
B [Def1]+[Def2]
or
C [Wordplay]+[Def] (or vice-versa)
C is commonest
Sometimes there's a theme, either i. in* the clues, ii. in* the answers, iii. a mix of both, or iv. between the answers.
*(...some of)
(To be clear: it's a new puzzle...)
