Huh 62
7 July, 2020
Eight more clues that still puzzle me, half of them drawn from a Times book, published 2016.
On paper, I might have solved them, yet somehow their wordplay continues to gnaw me. What have I missed? A classical allusion? A bit of UK vernacular? Only your insight will ease my plight.
If you can see what I'm not seeing, let me know. How does each clue work? And can you craft your own clue for any of these same answers? Cheers.
