CLUELESS 463

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 decision is final and 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.

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

Please give an explanation if it might help .

Clues should be submitted by 7:00 pm (UK time) on Wednesday 20th February.

This week you may choose from two words. You can thus have a stab at the verb or the noun. The words are
COMPLAIN (8) or
COMPLAINT (9)

Have fun!

Haha, that should read :
