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; 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.
To be fair to others, please do not make any comments on entries until after the winner has been declared. Unlike Peer Review's democratic voting system, Clueless is all down to one judge and I promise to pay full attention and look carefully at each submission. There is a chance I might miss your subtle nuances so please include a brief explanation, thereby maximising your chance to occupy the hot seat next week!
Multiple entries may be submitted and new competitors are particularly welcome!
This week’s phrase is:
PORT (4)
Clues to be submitted by 1800 BST tomorrow (3rd June) with the winner being announced soon after.
Have fun and good luck!
