Hi, Newbie,

Ha! Thanks both. Looks like my H is in the wrong place...

Incidentally, does anyone have good recommendations of resources to help me learn more around cryptic crossword solving? I'm trying to pick up different strategies by looking around at answers, but most clues seem rather impenetrable.

Hello again, Newbie.

There is a wee book called Chambers cryptic crosswords and how to solve them by Michael Kindred and Derrick Knight. It might lead you on the right path. Another way is to look at the answers to the completed crossword and work backward to see how they got there. Remember that the answer is always in the clue of cryptic crosswords. Not so when it is general knowledge where you either know the answer or you don't.

Keep at it. I couldn't do without my daily crossword fix.

Best wishes.
