On the road at 4am so need to get this done now.......

Welcome to Clueless, our informal weekly clue setting competition.

The idea is to compose a cryptic clue to a given word or phrase.

The winner of the previous week's competition both sets the word to be clued and judges the entries for the current week.

The decision is final and reasons may or may not be given at the judge's discretion. It is customary for the judge to donate a virtual prize to the winner.

Multiple entries may be submitted and new competitors are particularly welcome.

Please give the parsing for your clue unless it is blindingly obvious.

Clues should be submitted by 6:00 pm (UK time) on Wednesday February 1st. The winner will be announced soon after.


The word to be clued is

IGNORAMUS (9)

Have fun!
