All the answers in this quiz start with the letter S. Cryptic clues have two parts a wordplay (anagram, hidden word, etc) part and a definition. There will also be a hint as to the type of wordplay.
Two or more consecutive words in these questions (those in capitals), can be anagrammed into the title, first line, or first few words of a Christmas song. Check the hint for word length.
Look for a word that has CRY on the outside and another word inside. The clue contains definitions of the whole word and the word in the middle. (Not necessarily in that order.) Note the R may be the second letter or the second to last letter.
Puzzled by cryptic crossword clues? One type of clue is the charade, two (or more) words put together to make another word. e.g. In favor of song = fortune (for+tune) The definition for the answer may come either at the beginning or the end of the clue.
Every answer word contains the letters ILL. Another word is put around these letters to make further word. The two words are defined in each clue in no particular order. e.g. Pawn on a knoll = hillock
(HOCK on ILL)
