Welcome to Clueless, our informal weekly clue setting competition. The idea is to compose a cryptic clue for 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, November 4th.

This week's challenge is:-
