Winner Stays On (used on some pool tables in UK pubs: the winner of a game stays on to play the next guy.)
Cryptic Crossword Clue
Of The Day

Posted normally between 08:00 and 09:00 UTC (so I think that's 19:00 to 20:00 in Canberra / Sydney?) and lasts for four hours from the moment you post it.

Try thinking of a word, and break it down: see if you can get anything that might make a sentence if you quint at it a bit! Laugh | :laugh:

For example, a recent one of mine: I started with the solution: ASSASSIN and saw three word: ASS, ASS, and IN.
IN is easy: "Trendy, fashionable, ..."
ASS has many meanings: "Idiot, to move fast (as in 'haul ass'), sure (as in 'bet your ass'), a donkey, the bit you sit on."

Take two meanings for ASS: "bottom" and "Donkey", one for "IN": "trendy", the defintion: "killer", and some punctuation to mislead people with and you get:
Bottom donkey - trendy killer (8)"


So try it: pick a word!
Just try not to overthink it: if it gets too long, it may not be solved!

If it is solved, the solver gets to set the next. If not, you get to try again. Three unsolved in a row from the same setter, and it reverts to the person who set the clue they solved.
That's pretty much it for the rules! Big Grin | :-D
