Thanks to all who took part in this week’s Clueless challenge.

I thought the different options for definitions might prove interesting. I preferred to see Guide capitalised and qualified with e.g. Chris’s “trainee” or Fiery's “young” etc.

I also had likes for Swarbs@39 for “live wire”, Aristo@16 for associating “say cheese” and camera and Geeker@45 for brownie points (yes, the term is well known over here).

Top three included Paul @32 with my favourite cheese based clue …
Now uncertain - can cheese crust make a tasty treat? (9)

Raffles@27 with my favourite sprite based clue…
I be worn out goblin (7)

And the winner is Eider@36 with the well constructed…

Dessert wine drunk with little brother (7)

Congratulations Eider, here are your prizes…
