Depending upon the kind and the context, that can a concept to embrace with delight or abhor in disgust.

Which, come to think of it, is a description that is essentially a self-referential commentary.

So you should keep your network locked down but your lockdown not networked...

If you can't laugh at yourself - ask me and I will do it for you.

So then, you won't mind uploading it to a public share where we can all download it without providing an email address?

Otherwise, no, it's NOT free - the cost is getting your email address added to their phishing database.

Apparently I’m up tomorrow. I wasn’t expecting to solve one because I haven’t even worked the what daily CCC title stands for yet Blush | :O

. WSO? CCC – “cryptic crossword clue”? (club?), OTD - “on this day”. I'm pleading the lateness of the hour here in my time zone. Laugh | :laugh:

Yes I’m very new to this. I only started looking at the daily CCC’s about a month or so ago and I’ve found they have become quite addictive and lots of fun.

I know that you only have four hours to solve the puzzle, but are there any other rules/guidelines I should be aware of?

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

You are obviously not as old as you claim to be. "Winner Stays On" was used on Foosball tables in UK pubs, long before a pool table ever landed on these shores. They then stole our space and our WSO rule. Hopefully, one day someone will realise that, (just like Grey Squirrels), they are a serious threat to our way of life! Frown | :(
