Jono, could you construct a clue involving Earth Wind and Fire? It frustrated me I couldn't quite get my idea to work

2 - Spikepunk 15
1 - Mattrom 4
1 - Tyke 11
1 - Geeker 20
1 - Spikepunk 24

Thanks all for the early voting.

We have a tie between Buddy@13 and Spike@15 (I’ve counted Spike’s 14 and 15 together which I think is fair) both with 9 votes each. Geeker gets the bronze with 5 votes for his clue @20.

As Buddy’s clue involved an indirect anagram (and it’s also worth mentioning that Spike got for 4 votes for another clue), I’m going with Spike for the win …

Felicity's gutted, as visit from Santa turned out to be a dream (7)

Congratulations Spike…
I picked these out before I set the challenge. Jimmy pre-empted one of them…

And, spike should win since he got more outright firsts than I did. Congrats spike & thanks to jono for the scorekeeping and clips. Thanks all for the votes. Pleased to introduce a new anagrind for all to use in the future.

Congratulations, spikepunk! Also well done by buddy; I'm partial to naughty clues. Thanks to jono for hosting and clips.
