This is the prize puzzle so I wouldn't normally ask for help but....

The clue is "How Aidan might change sex (8)" and I'm stumped. What makes it worse is that Aidan is my name - so I have to figure this one out.

All suggestions appreciated.

And no, I won't be sending in the completed puzzle.

Have you any letters?

I was trying to do something with just 'Aidan' - backwards, it's Nadia (changing from male to female?). 'Reversal' doesn't seem to work with the rest of the clue. Mmm, I'll keep thinking.

Aiden spelt backwards is... Nadia, a girl's name. so Aidan has changed sex. depending what lettersyou have answer might be...backward ,reversed, upward whatever.

Harbinger, that'd work for me - it'd be good to see any letters or the final answer.

I think you're right - it might be "reversed". I have:

.E.E.S.D

so it works.

Thanks to everyone - now I can sleep easy.
