Welcome to our 457th friendly competition to compose a cryptic clue to be judged by your fellow contestants.
You may enter as many clues as you like and everyone is welcome, particularly new entrants. Feel free to explain your clue, if you think it will help, or ask another entrant to parse it.
Clues should be posted before 12:00 noon (UK time) on Friday October 2 when voting opens. Voting closes at 10:00 pm (UK time) the same day.
Entrants should vote for their favorite clue, indicating that entrant's name and clue number. The entry with the most votes wins and its composer sets next week's competition.
The setter has the deciding vote in the event of a tie. I will declare the winner and award an online prize.
This week's challenge is:
WEIGHT (6)
Have fun and good luck!
