When setting a phase, are we constricted to a maximum of 15 letters?

Any thoughts?

No limit as far as I am concerned but words like

hexamethylenetetramine

are a bit of a turn-off. Makes the judging easier if there is only one entry though!

Yes, personally I tend to be put off with very long, complicated
words/phrases - but that's just me!

Lol, Lol, ok ta. Was just wondering for phrases/ sayings / names etc ------ Off now to look that one up. See u Wednesday lunch time ish.

Are you sure you mean Wednesday? Peer Review starts on a
Thursday :)

Good afternoon bobs mum, pigale and tatters!

l don't think there's a limit on the number of letters for your choice of word, longer phrases might make things more interesting!
I'm working through a book of Bunthorne puzzles at the mo and here's one that came up recently...

Cry from the 15, "Bosom OK, is m' behind guilty?" (4,2,3,4,3,2,4)

The answer to 15 was Changing Rooms
(Hint- it's an anagram!)
:)

Thursday it is whoops thank you

(Tatters @2. Couldn't help myself)

Compound for 30 seconds (22)
E. Milne? Next he ate my heart out for Crystal (22)
Hee-hee! Maltreatment in both axes can produce something useful (22)

I prefer shorter words to clue. It limits the number of anagrams, is easier to hide them and to write acronyms which I attempt occasionally.
It also helps if I know what the word means!

I can't parse your first clue Skyewalker .
