Better, yes - but having "PART" in there twice is a bit confusing.
Well done though!

Hi,
Here is what I came up with for your 'rampart' target word. Could make a somewhat legible sentence associated with the financial markets.
Hedge market split and made a comeback before the trap backfired. (7)
Hedge = definition
market split = mar
and made a comeback = ram
before the trap = ramtrap
trap backfired = rampart
rampart
Keep participating, I am looking forward to your future cryptograph clues.

Not heard rampart referred to as a hedge.

Yep,
I exchanged it at the last minute as a substitute for Wall Street market[^]. Something came up and I didn't want to spend more time on it. Feel free to modify the clue, there has to be a way to fit Wall Street into the clue.
I'll have more time in about an hour.

Thank you for your response.
In my clue I had meant for "part of" to mean to take a piece of "the market"(the letters "mar" in this case), but I missed the fact that "part" was also in the solution itself. I also meant for climbed to mean reverse "trap" and "mar" after they had been combined to yield the solution which was perhaps also a bit confusing.
Your suggestion is very illuminating and will help me in my future attempts.

As you appear to like feedback how about
This could help protect memory role ?

I solved my first Wordle without looking up the word (did that yesterday and wasn't even close the two days before that)
Pretty good one too!

Now if I ever solve a CCC I can die happy

Well done - the CCC is (depending on who sets the clue ) easier than Wordle, you have 4 hours and no guesses limit.

To me CCCs are gibberish - and they are even in my language. Wordle is much easier for me.

It took me four tries to beat a Wordle game.
Ten years of CCC and I'm still none the wiser

I'd rather you didn't - die that is!
As an aside, a couple of years ago someone signed my email up to an American company, so I keep getting emails with the subject "Die happy tonight" which was rather disconcerting - turns out it's a New York lap dance club ... if I find out who it was ...

For me, solving a CCC is a million times easier than setting up one. Often it is the fear of setting up the next CCC which discourages me from giving the solution.

Don't worry, your CCC makes no sense to me...
I'll sooner die (unhappy) of natural causes than solve a CCC
Also, I didn't say I'd have to die right after solving one

It's an anagram of orchestra giving carthorse ( hard worker )

That's not even a word I know!

A carthorse is a very sturdy breed of a shire horse typically used for heavy hard work

That's better than me. I remember the first iteration of wordle I tried. Nowadays it's a 5 letter word, but back in my day it was a single letter and you got 26 tries to get it right. I don't know how I lost, but I did.

2 weeks ago, dismissing the existing messy infrastructure to synchronize object tree in the current codebase (basically automatically synchronizing data with view models, recursively), I created a whole new single class to do the work, in a much better way. Took about 3 days to be fully functional (about 1,200 lines of code overall).
And then I pushed that to the codebase....
And then subtle bugs piled up and I realized I had suffered from hubris and I was falling... (very happy to finally use this word "hubris" in a personal and meaningful context), it was a rather stressful time, but after 2 days of intense testing and unit testing.. all problem were solved, even had a performance check.. and now it's all blue sky!
I suffered from hubris, hence defied the gods, but I ended up victorious, feeling pretty good about it!

The gods are overrated. What you need is a little witchcraft, and then you will no longer tip toe around them.
To err is human. Fortune favors the monsters.

Well, true,.. In that case the gods is the overwhelming pressure from everyone complaining there are failing test in the build farm... Everyone being potentially tens of thousands of other developers...
The gods are merciless, as we all bloody well know...
But I did my witchcraft successfully, and appeased them, it seems...
