While it was done some years ago I see, I thought I would try a cryptic crossword-like thread for fun and to try and boost a little more interest here. I made up the below question for anyone interested in such a challenge. I thought the first person to get it correct might come up with the next question. A clue though - if you copy one from a newspaper or magazine etc., the answer can often be found on the internet. I can explain the answer for anyone who asks. 🙂
The prisoner at the cave would not stand for the electrically charged droplets of water.

That's it.
Joan of Arc, par example, led as superior without any right where things heated up (5)
WORDPLAY
Joan of Arc, par example, led [charade+abbrev.] = Saint (example of) = St
as superior [charade] = over
without any right [indicator:letter deletion] = remove "r"
St + over - r = stove
DEFINITION
where things heated up = stove
Over to you.
