Weekend Peer Review 212 and Supplementary Challenge

Welcome to our weekend 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 to ask another entrant to parse their clue. However, please don't comment on the clues before voting closes.

Clues should be posted before noon (UK time) on Sunday the 26th of November, when voting opens. Voting closes at 8pm the same day.

This weekend’s challenge is:

RADON (5)]

Have fun and good luck!

Weekend rules: Each entrant has six votes to allocate across any of one to six clues (no fractional votes allowed). For example, the allocation might be 3/2/1 for the top 3 clues, and many other allocations are possible. In the event of a tie, the number of first place votes will be taken into consideration (if those are equal, 2nd place votes, etc.).

Future setters should note that a complete list of words used previously in Clueless, Peer Review and Weekend Peer Review is available here https://tinyurl.com/4dzss5np

Supplementary Challenge (continued)]

The challenge is to find a five-letter word which has something in common with the three set words in this week's competitions:
TOAST CLIFF RADON

There are two best solutions, though there is a third possibility which doesn't appear in all dictionaries. For more details you are referred to the preamble for Peer Review 620.

Solvers may offer solutions at any time, with a deadline of 8 p.m. (UK time) on Sunday 26th November, the end of the voting period. If necessary, further hints will be posted around 6 p.m. on Saturday 25th November.
