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

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

Clues should be submitted by 06:00 pm GMT on Wednesday, 8th November, with the winner to be announced shortly after.

The answer to be clued is:

BONFIRE NIGHT (7,5)

Have fun and feel free to explain your clue.

Nothing brief worn at this celebration! (7,5)

I'm hoping "worn" can be taken as an anagram indicator!

When to burn a dummy catholic fanatic? (7,5)

Cracker inferno evening? (7,5)

Festival of fight borne in anger (7,5)

Feu de joie shadows conspirator (7,5)

Exploding froth being in festivity (7,5)

Rope loop catches alight with new merriment (7,5)

Blazing celebration for a regicide ? (7,5)

Then, if boring...fireworks! (7,5)
