Thank you to all for competing in this week’s Clueless.

I enjoyed many anagrams from Geting @3, Motley @4, and Raffles @8 kick us off, and especially Chris’ entry @2 (among many more).
Clever construction from Aristo @11 and Tyke @15 left nice surfaces and grammar.
I particularly enjoyed all of Jono’s definitions.

There are too many good clues to mention without rattling on for ages, so I’ll give a top 3:

3rd to Darla @27 for some concise clueing.
2nd to Motley @22 for a good spot of INSTANTLY.
My favourite clue this week, however, is Fieryjack @23 with

Reason to get home before alienation (8)

Congrats FJ and thanks wil - also for the mention.

Motley - I loved your Trump ones!

Nice Fiery! Cheers Wil.

Congrats Fiery and thanks to Wil, and for the mention.

Kicking myself I didn’t spot the follow-on connection!

Well done Fiery (as seen on Wordle!) - appreciate the mention Wil.

Nice one Jack. Thanks Wil for hosting and the mention.

Well done FieryJack nice and neat.
Thank you Wil for hosting - good word to produce essays with.
