Quisling, thanks - the more I looked at the clue, the less I liked the 'called' part! I felt as if the clue had been put together, assembled, using bits of crossword knowledge, but with no elegance or fun.

Please help me in parsing/ solving this cryptic clue -
"Country recalled society of universal observers to dig treasure (7)"

This thread has developed a glitch where the answer numbers go out of kilter, and the first post on a new page is not visible until a second one is added.

I will start a new thread next time. As the last one in this series please help me parsing this clue - "Country recalled society of universal observers to dig treasure (7)"

can it be UNEARTH?, country is EARTH, society of universal observers is UN, to dig treasure is UNEARTH?

Test to see if the post appears.

Bharat, Yes, please start a new thread next time.

This glitch was reported to me and I added a test post which made the posts after 120 appear, as Admin I must have a magic touch.😂

Bharat, I'm sorry,but that's another clue I don't like very much if 'unearth' is the answer! The 'recalled' in it doesn't refer to the country nor to the society of universal observers, so there seems to be no reason for it being there. And 'unearth' doesn't really mean to 'dig treasure' (or even 'dig up treasure'). I think 'unearth' could just about work for 'dig up treasure perhaps', showing an example of what unearthing could do, but the rest of the clue doesn't really work for me.
