Welcome to Clueless, our informal weekly clue setting competition. The idea is to compose a cryptic clue to a given word or phrase.
Multiple entries may be submitted and new competitors are particularly welcome.

The winner of this week's competition will set the word to be clued and judge the entries for next week.

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

Clues should be submitted by 6:00 pm (UK time) on Wednesday, Sep 16th.
Prizegiving will be shortly afterwards.

This week's challenge is:

PANACHE (7)

Have fun, and please explain your clue if it is especially devious.

Flamboyant president has a longing to oversee Biden's ending (7)

An Eastern chap rolls with flair

God, that hurts with style (7)

Scrapheap can produce energy (7)

Feathers of a hen worn with cap (7)

A down clue

Dash! A red under the bed (7)

Cooking flapjack, king loses heart at first, but has flair.

Sorry, I got that one backwards. I wanted to lose a king and gain a heart. Must be a Monday. Please ignore my previous post.

Trying again:

King quits cooking flapjack, gains heart with flair. (7)
