Welcome to CLUE CHAIN.

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.

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 finishes about 6pm. If you would like to start CLUE CHAIN please volunteer next Monday.

This week's opening clue is:
In part, it’s hard begging for a drink (6)

I'm here and thinking

"In part" is important.

Ah ha ---Ardbeg

Correct bobs mum -your go.


I hope some others join in (not that I am criticising your company, of course).

Lol --- we shall see how it goes. I am going to attempt a theme as well ...................

Nursery rhyme character who was maybe scrambled (6,6)

humpty dumpty?

Yep well done, back to you

Strange church laid bid for Scotch. (13)

OPEN

I don't think many people would have heard of this one. It's not on the supermarket shelves.
