The idea is to start with a cryptic clue - set by me this week.

Apologies I started it late

The first correct solver (judged by the setter) then has to offer their clue and so on. It would be nice if explanations are given and setter will confirm or explain.

The person who solves the 1st clue is asked to kick off the next weeks CLUE CHAIN.(Thursday 1st December around noon GMT)

Once you have solved, and then set a clue you cannot enter again, although you can still comment.

30 min time limit per clue and then setter must explain and baton passes back to the last setter.

Game ends at 6:30 GMT due to late start or if two clues go unanswered in a row.

Clue to start:




AQER is one an unhappy girlfriend of Micky Mouse (7 6)

This not the current intro- what a bloody mess. I will post the proper intro with dja' s clue.

Thanks AQER

Welcome to CLUE CHAIN

The idea is to start with a cryptic clue - set by me this week.

The first correct solver, judged by the setter, is then invited to offer their clue and so on.

The person who solves the first clue starts the next CLUE CHAIN (Thursday 9th Feb. around noon).

Once you have solved and then set a clue you cannot enter again, although you can still comment.

30 min time limit per clue and if not solved the setter must declare the clue 'open' and everybody can play again.

Game closes 18.00 GMT

This week's opening clue is:

AQER is one unhappy girlfriend of Mickey Mouse (7,6)

Oh dear! Moaning minnie?

Thanks, Bernie. I'll presume to invite your clue

Was Doris Stokes a cheerful one? (5,6)

Happy medium

Correct jws, over to you.

Figure is part home. (5,8)
