CLUELESS 464

Welcome to Clueless, our informal weekly clue setting competition.

The idea is to compose a cryptic clue to a given word or phrase.

The winner of the previous week's competition both sets the word to be clued and judges the entries for the current week.

The decision is final and reasons may or may not be given at the judge's discretion. It is customary for the judge to donate a virtual prize to the winner.

Multiple entries may be submitted and new competitors are particularly welcome.

Explanations are welcome for complex or obscure clues.

Clues should be submitted by 6:00 pm (UK time) on Wednesday 4th March.

As Tuesday 3rd is ’Super Tuesday’ the word to clue this week is

SUPER (5)

Enjoy!

Holding back where pushers boss (5)

Less soft in midst of nighttime spread, gets on top (5)

Half of suit, a top? (5)

Very Reverend offering a seat in church to a gentleman (5)

Pew, sir?

Wandering Peru's capital (5)

Trump's ultimately in charge, right ? Terrific (5)

Marvelous Sue Perkins's opening on the radio (5)

(Not my personal view: I find her irritating!)

Elderly gent's hotel choice (5)


Not a realistic chance of winning - it refers to the story of the elderly gent checking in to a New York hotel. After he had been in the room for a while, there was a knock on the door. He answered it to find a scantily dressed young woman who asked
"Would you like super sex?"
"At my age, my dear, it had better be the soup".

ChrisE - that'll be my decision and in my state of mind you're in with a chance!
