Welcome to CLUE CHAIN - usually started each Monday around noon.

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 usually starts the next CLUE CHAIN - please confirm you will do this.

Once you have solved and then set a clue you cannot answer again for the time being.

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

Game usually closes around 6pm.

This week's opening clue is:

Nominally nine, ten and eleven finally (5)

Here, but unable to solve

Hi, jws.

the other problem I have is that I am away next week. Anyway, is it to do with cricket as 9,10,11 would be the tail?

If I give a hint are you available to start next week?

I'm away next week, too. Not on the right track, jws.

That was a clever one. I am unable & unwilling to start next week.

Unable and unwilling!

What a classy response

If you have solved, kilowatt please post your answer. We can find a starter later.
