Welcome to CLUE CHAIN - usually started each Monday afternoon.

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.

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

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

If an open clue is not solved quickly the setter should offer hints until someone can solve and continue.

Game usually closes around 6pm. If you would like to start CLUE CHAIN please volunteer next Monday morning.

This week's opening clue is:

Angel swaps partners with Marconi (8)

I suppose any respectable angel is wireless- doesn't need one to fly.

Will join in for a bit later. AB seems to be more minimal than ever; I'm getting worried.

Hi aristo. This angel does not fly, usually. not wirelss I'm afraid

Back. So is angel the definition? As in advocate? Likeness?

Angel is the definition. Marconi could have been Nobel or Arkwright

Ah. Wordplay with inventor...

Swap partners and you get?

Swap poles also works

Can see it, but unfortunately I don't have a clue to offer.
