As we always have difficulty finding a starter for the game I have taken the liberty of doing yet another intro for your comments. I have altered the starting time to 'Monday afternoon' , removed the commitment for the first solver to start the next week's game and asked for a volunteer on Monday morning. If you think this is OK perhaps the starter next Monday can use this.

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.

If you would like to start CLUE CHAIN please volunteer on Monday morning..

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.

This week's opening clue is:

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

I think the line order is wrong, I'll have another go!

I'm very sorry this is wrong too - I'll go yet again!

No, I think it's OK, sorry for being a prat. Do you think it's better?

Haven't played for a few weeks Rambler but the intro makes sense to me x

Thanks, anniec - I missed you.

If there's no serious objection I'll post the intro again on Monday morning.

I haven't been around to play for the last 2 weeks. I hope to join in next Monday. The intro looks fine to me.
