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.
Starting to get in the holiday mood so this week’s words are
SPROUT (6) or SPROUTS (7)
Clues should be submitted by 6:00 pm (UK time) on Wednesday, December 17.
Results and prize-giving shortly after.
